No no. The problem is this: I have a PXE server set up and working. I set up a system and made a PXE image of it. When I PXE boot a system, it hangs before the login prompt. I had seen this once before, and commenting a line from a file in /etc/pam.d/ fixed it. I haven't been able to find the solution now that it has arisen again (We re-made the PXE image)... So, I posted to some forums and this mailing list, and didn't get any replies at all. So, now I want to set up a new system, in either RHEL4U4, FC4, or FC5, with *NO* PAM anywhere on the machine at all, so that it won't get in the way in the future. We have no security needs AT ALL. We're using rlogin with cleartext, and rebooting each station approximately every 3 minutes, so security means nothing to us... I appreciate all the help you've provided thus far!

Maybe I am not fully understanding your question. Are trying to have a system that doesn't provide a login prompt whatsoever .. but automatically logs in and provides a shell .. runs a program, etc? My solution was to not require a password to a login.
