I think that in family mode autolog in of an administrator (arklinux) 
shouldn't be allowed, not even in the console since that would totally void 
the concept of havign users and administrators.
For example: I'm a user, I open konsole, I run login, I insert arklinux... 
voila! I'm administrator... I think, maybe I'm wrong.
What about su arklinux ?
