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: [ failed solutions snipped ]

Try this instead:

13:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -l /usr/local/bin/auto-login.2 -n 38400 tty13

-------auto-login.2-------
#!/bin/sh
/bin/login -f lee


If you experience problems with this, try removing the "-n" option. Then all you need to do is to press any character at the login prompt--followed by enter--and you're in as the user "lee."

BTW, the 13th virtual console is accessed through RightAlt+F1
