Edit your /etc/inittab and get mingetty to auto login or spawn your shell directly. I believe mingetty --autologin option is what you are looking for. If you run into any issues auto logging as root, use the --loginprog option to start a different shell script or program instead of the default /bin/login. inittab/mingetty is highly configurable, so you can also for example setup mingetty to ask for password on console, but auto login on serial console. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
