Automatic Login As Root: inittab ?

[loftrat]

Evening All

I'm trying to remaster the live CD so that it bypasses the command line login and then runs a script.

I think I need to edit inittab somehow, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to change.

I'm fairly sure it's this bit I need to change:

c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty1
c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty2 
c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty3 
c4:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty4 
c5:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty5 
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 linux tty6

I've tried adding -n to each line to login without a username/password, but that doesn't work.

Anybody able to help with this? Thanks

Yes you will need to edit the /etc/inittab file, but the only change needed to automatically start KDE at startup is:

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:4:initdefault:

Hi, thanks for that

I'm actually trying to login directly as root but at the command prompt (essentially just bypassing the standard root/toor login).

Once I've logged in I also need to run a script (usermenu.sh), but I'm happy to take one thing at a time

Cheers
