Default Login


I recently installed SuSE 9.1 and currently automatically log into the system with a user account I created during the installation. Besides root, it is the only user account that has been created on the system. I would like to have a login window appear where I can enter in the username and password rather than what it is now. How would I go about doing that? Thanks.

I only have a german SuSE running, so I hope I get the names right:

KDE-Menu-> Control Center ->System managment (or so)->Login-manager->the last button in the register (something like 'make it easier')

There you can switch-off the automatic login.

Thanks to you both. I was able to disable the autologin feature successfully.
