Thank you. I have been looking for something like this to use on my portable machine for a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! <grin> Now, one little refinement: I suggest taking out the '-c sh' as it's superfluous and only launches a subshell and does not execute default configuration scripts. So, I think a better invocation is: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/su - yourlogin < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1 Sweet. Very sweet.
