Suppressing logins



As a long time Unix user, I can't conceive of a system where logins are not used. 

At the installfest, Pamela King wanted to know if there was a way to suppress the need for a login. 
(I know that I can write a replacement for login and getty) I don't know of a simple way to configure 
a Linux system not to require a login. I know that Pamela and many other Windows and Mac 
people don't understand what a login is, and the concept of a priviledged user vs. a regular user.
