I have a little problem with my DSL system. At startup the OS asks for login and password, but I would like the system to not ask these and start so that user does not need to do anything until the GUI loads. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.I have opposite problem. =D I need to make my server to ask it when logging locally... I run my DSL from CD and settings are stored to USB stick.
But in your case you could add a line to the end of your /opt/bootlocal.sh
Code Sample
su - dsl
then it _should_ log user dsl in automatically.I think your 2 scenarios are a bit different.
Akula's probably used the 'traditional' hd-install script which sets up the login page for you, while Zucca is using a frugal.
Not sure about the trad hd-install, bit you could edit the startup scripts that contain the auth prompt.
For a frugal (to have the passworded stuff), you can boot with 'dsl secure'. This will also encrypt your backup.tar.gz afaik.Thanks. I got over the problem.

At first glance I thought they both needed the other's /etc/inittab . The single-user + auto X vs. multi-user-traditional installation selection installs two different inittabs. The difference is merely the last few lines, respawning getty vs. bash --login with redirection. Next Page...
