Hi Alex,

Thanks for the info. Of course, I didn't describe things right! ;o{ I did,
of course, mean the login prompt. So, would I still use this the same as now
or could it be automated (I know Mandrake has a facility for automatically
loggin on as a particular user). If I still had to do it would I do a '.ssh
<machine name> -l <user>' and would it then ask me for the password?

Is lilo asking for a password? (Unlikely) You need to sort out your booting
process :). Do you mean the login: prompt? No, you can't turn that off, and
you don't need to. Remember, that's just allowing you to login and do
things. That doesn't mean the machine is sitting there doing nothing.
