Hi, 
 
1) I have setup the Ubuntu workstation (version 10.04.3) in the production environment 
 
2) When installing the Ubuntu, I specify the followings: 
- User is &quot;jwhite&quot; 
- password is &quot;Boba&quot; 
 
3) I gave the computer to Jwhite 
- jwhite was annoyed .....many times he has to &quot;key in&quot; the password 
 
4) I believe that we can select something like &quot;prompting the password&quot; or &quot;no prompting the password&quot; during the installation 
- Now, it is late (the installation has been completed) 
- But, i believe we still be able to select &quot;No prompting the password&quot; 
 
5) My question: Would somebody show me how to select &quot;Not prompting the password at all&quot; per GUI and per Command line? 
 
6) Thanks

Ubuntu: To turn off the password authentication

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
