Look at the autologin option of mingetty. For example, to >have them logged in on VT2, look for: > >2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 > >Change it to something like: > >2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin guest tty2 If what you mean is "use a script instead of the graphical tool to change to auto-login", then the graphical command is (usually) gdmsetup, which according to `man gdm` edits /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. This info may be out of date, as all I have on F7 is /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.rpmsave, but if you have the file, enabling auto-login is obvious. How to edit the file from the command line is up to you, but sed would work. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
