If } so, how do I do it and can I limit it to a single console. In your /etc/ttys, put something like: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Autologin_hamilton" cons25 on secure And then in /etc/gettytab: Autologin_hamilton:\ :ht:np:sp#115200:al=hamilton: I ran across this by accident some time ago while trolling through the gettytab man page looking for something, and have been using it since. Obviously, you have to be aware of the security implications of doing this :) -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
