You should know and respect that the need to login is a security
feature. You shouldn't bypass that by the setting to automatically
login.
I wonder... Since I'm the only user of my machine, I find it just
convenient to use the automatic login (to a regular user account.) Is
it a security risk?
Well, I agree with you Gustavo. If you're running the machine at home
without any real reason to be concerned about who gets access to the
computer, then why not use the auto login - butno, not to root.
But then I'm new to linux so take that with a grain of salt.

Personally the few extra seconds it takes to enter my password is worth
my peace of mind. I've been doing it with Windows for years.....
