Oh good, added the missing "!"in the condition. Maybe I should have written the code more clearly in the first place: if [ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then /usr/local/bin/startx fi > my home directory /home/olivares/.login apparently does not work, why > I see pam errors: > > Aug 8 08:07:32 myhostname login: pam_authenticate(): conversation failure > .... login: > in_prompt_echo_off(): tcgetattr(): Device not configured It's great to use FreeBSD - "man tcgetattr" tells us that this function is used to retrieve terminal capability data. In my opinion, this indicates that there's something wrong with the format or content of /etc/gettytab. Checking this on my side reveals something strange: I have put the profile name "autologin" as shown in my working (!) example right after the "default" entry in /etc/gettytab; the "fixed speed entries" then follow. Then, later on, near the file's end, there's another entry with the same name. Strange... but works! I would only guess a gettytab issue... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
