i just got something kind of like that to work.  install the rungetty
package, and then open up /etc/inittab.  change the line that says:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

to

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/rungetty -u username --autologin username tty1 -- bash -i


where you obviously replace username with the appropriate user.

autologin in console mode

2003-02-27 Thread Levi Waldron 
Is it possible to do an autologin into console mode?  ie, when turning on the 
machine a particular user gets logged in every time without entering a 
username or password?

It's for a visually-impaired user, so having to type that stuff in before the 
voice prompts are activated is a barrier even with a simple  
username/password.  Then with an entry in .bashrc starting "emacspeak -o" the 
computer will go straight into voice mode every time it boots up.
