Just a note for myself as I’m bound to forget this it’s very hidden away.
Go to start type “netplwiz” in the search. Click the advanced tab and tick “Require users to press Ctrl+alt+delete”
A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc
# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"

When you’re using a minimal Ubuntu install if you find the ‘add-apt-repository’ command is missing (it’s useful for adding PPAs and other repositories), then simply run:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

OK you have my curiosity piqued with your enigmatic personal note. Why force that, and when force that?

The game is afoot.
@Matt: No big reason. Mainly for the security of desktops used for testing.
Thanks so much for this piece.av been trying to fix that for a long time now that i couldn’t but this worked.
And I learned that “netplwiz” and “control userpasswords2″ launch the same applet. Kudos.
