First of all, why: this is for a single-user laptop with an encrypted hard drive. If someone gets past the initial passkey, they have all of my respect as well as my data. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of typing I have to do at startup (currently, between the hdd, the login, setting up wireless and unlocking the keyring that stores my e-mail/web passwords, I type 4 passwords/-keys).
I have so far tried two autologin solutions: rungetty, and this script (named as /sbin/autologin): #!/bin/bash exec 0</dev/$1 1>/dev/$1 2>&1 cat /etc/issue shift exec $* I have setup tty1 to use these scripts for autologin, and get the same error message with both. Here are the inittab lines I used for each of the two: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/rungetty tty1 --autologin lee and 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/autologin tty1 login -f lee In both cases, the response I get is that the terminal is respawning too frequently, and the terminal is locked for five minutes. I don't understand the getty applications well enough to figure out what to do next.
