To require a login at startup then if using the Classic window manager
(with menus at the top) go to System > Administration > Login Screen,
click Unlock and enter your password then select 'Show the screen for
choosing who will login'.  If using Unity then click on the power off
icon in the top right and select System Settings, then Login Screen
under System, then as above.
