I've been logging into UNIX boxes for over 15 years.  It's always been:
username<Enter>
password<Enter>

and if you'll look at 4.x, that's the way is was (guess I have to
downgrade to 4.78).  Doing anything else to me is counter-intuitive.  It's
tough to break a habit of 15 years, 60 hours a week, logging into a UNIX
box.  Even when I sit and _think_ about not doing it, I hit <Enter>.  Old
dog ... and I don't want to learn a new trick, I want the login to work
like logins have _always_ worked for me.

When you log into your box (VT or XDM/KDM/GDM/WDM), after you enter your
username do you really hit <Tab>????????????????????  And it
works?????????????????????

Anyway, the question was, how to fix the configuration, not that I'm old
and futzed.

Ciao,
