AUTOLOGIN(4)AUTOLOGIN(4)NAMEautologin - set autologin user identity
SYNOPSIS
/etc/autologin
/etc/autologin.TTYLINE
DESCRIPTION
/etc/autologin is an ASCII file containing the login user name to be used
when autologin is enabled. The file is used by xdm(1) and clogin(1) when
automatically initiating a terminal session on the graphics console.
/etc/autologin.TTYLINE is like /etc/autologin except it is used by
getty(1m) when initiating a terminal session for the device named by
TTYLINE. For example /etc/autologin.ttyd1 will control the login
processes on /dev/ttyd1.
NOTES
Autologin is controlled by the existence of the /etc/autologin.on file.
The file is normally created at boot time to automate the login process
and then removed by xdm or clogin to disable the autologin process for
succeeding terminal sessions.
When PAM (see pam(8)) is enabled, autologin will not work.
FILES
