Edit your /etc/inittab to change one of your ttys to start a login shell as you instead of agetty/login.

Save this and change USERNAME, autologin.c:
| Code: |
int main()
{
execlp( "login", "login", "-f", "USERNAME", 0);
}
|
Compile:
| Code: | | gcc -o /usr/local/sbin/autologin autologin.c |
Change /etc/inittab:
| Code: | | c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux |
->
| Code: | | c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin 38400 tty6 linux |
(Not vt though.) |
