So basically you made her login account have a password? This does help as it keeps apps from automatically installing without her knowing it. So yes, it does provide some security.
What system do you use that requires two logins?
Great thanks. No I don't think that's quite it.
When new software was to be installed it asked for a password. But there was no password so you just pressed <return>.
I'm supposed to know about computers, so thought this was a bit dodgy and put in a definite password, say PasSWd14 or whatever.
It now requires this password to install new software.
What I want to know is: Should this password have to be entered when the computer starts up. Should that be set up. When it starts should it ask for username and password type thing.
Only my sister has physical access to the computer. But I thought that the password bit provided more security on the internet????
(Use Linux Debian Lenny 5 type thing but an internet security hardening program has made it reluctant to do anything with user and superuser passwords.)
