[LUG] Force Linux Mint 20.3 to ask for password

 

Hi All,

You may recall my trials and tribulations trying to get NFS shares auto mounting when I boot in the current Linux Mint. The only work around I found was to use Samba, but even that baulks unless every single time I go to Network, pick the server and manually mount the share, then it stays mounted. The first time it /always/ whines that my keyring was not unlocked when I booted, and /that/ I think has been the root of the problem in the background all along. So the system has booted, at one point mounted the NFS shares, but not let me see the /content/ because the keyring wasn't unlocked - but it didn't tell me that. So I've tied to make the system ask me for my password at login, but it won't. I've removed the user from the auto login group, edited one of the files (I forget which - it's been a while) to say auto-login=false, but it still won't prompt me for a password.

Thoughts please!

Kind regards,

Julian
