I would like to try out "Automated guest logons". I have read "Automated guest logons". How-to use it?
Host: RHEL 5/x64, VBox 3.2.6. But I still cannot login to the "Windows XP" guest OS. 1. I have installed GA with flag: /with_autologon This installed fine, and disabled XP-style login. 2. VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP" setcredentials "John Doe" "secretpassword" "DOMTEST" Why is the secretpassword has quotes? NOTE: This example was taken from official docs: "9.3.1. Automated Windows guest logons" Anyway: I have created user "localuser" with "123456" password and with admin privileges, then I logout from my Admin account. Now I had the login prompt. Is this OK? When I used the command: VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP" setcredentials "localuser" "secretpassword" "123456" The login prompt changed from "Administrator" user to "localuser", but password was still empty. I was unable to auto-logon. I have tried to remove double quotes from "secretpassword" command. No effect. Any ideas? 3. The Winlogon VBoxGINA(?) crashed a couple of times on user logout, and I had a several cases where my VM was brutally shut-down on "logoff" command. Usually logoff should prompt me which user to login. ------- Later, I also wanna try Linux guest auto-login using PAM. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
