Are you saying it boots up and automatically logs you in?  I 
know Mandrake can do this, and I assume other distros can do the

something like "X auto-login" if that's what is happening, though.

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
