Gumstix AutoLogin

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hi,
I have a Gumstix Connex 400, perfectly working. My problem is that I would be able to bypass the login or just have an automatic login script. Basically, I don't want to write username and password everytime I turn on the Gumstix.
Is it possible? I'm a newbie and any help would be great.

Thanks!

you can create a file named: /etc/rc.local

to start a shell without a password:

###################################

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#

/bin/su - root -c /bin/sh

###################################

I think there are much better ways for an autologin,
but this way works well for me :-)

This way does not work on my verdex 400 bt. It seems the verdex does not load rc.local even after I created the file and chmod to 777 because echo statement did not show up. What should I do to bypass login ?


Thanks,

Lee

Try this:

chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

It does not work. There was no such rc.local file in my filesystem. I created it and chmod to both 777 and 755.

Could you do me a favor to send me a list of files you modified for bypassing the login?
I tried another gumstix, the method does not work either.

Thanks,

Lee

Ok,
what kind of console are you using to Login:

Seriell/Terminal/Bootconsole (rc.local / su)
LCD/Keyboard (rc.local / openvt / su)
SSH/Network (~/.ssh/authorized_keys)

???

Hmmm,
i don't know,
it must work ;(

Please put this:

echo "### Hallo1 ###"
echo "### Hallo2 ###" > /dev/ttyS0

in your 'rc.local' Script,
to test the execution on bootup.

It seems the rc.local file does not run at boot up. No echo appears.
is it the correct position?
/etc/rc.local
cuz I created the rc.local myself on Gumstix 400 bt though I found it on other linux.

Thanks,

Lee

The Path is correct,
check your Permissions:
$ls -l /etc/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343 Aug 19 13:34 /etc/rc.local

I think it must be owned by 'root':
$ chown root:root /etc/rc.local

and executable:
$ chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

OK,
a better way is to create an 'init script':

echo "#!/bin/sh" > /etc/init.d/autologin
echo "/bin/su - root -c /bin/sh" >> /etc/init.d/autologin
chown root:root /etc/init.d/autologin
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/autologin

and link it to /etc/rc5.d/S99autologin:

ln -sf ../init.d/autologin /etc/rc5.d/S99autologin

Re: Gumstix AutoLogin

I tried both ways.
The first way seems doing nothing.
The second way,
first, Gumstix returns a "does not have permission to file" etc.
then, i chown and chmod manually.Bootup does not report an error but still ask for usrname and pwd. I checked autologin script and S99autologin. both show
#!/bin/sh
/bin/su - root -c /bin/sh

I do not know why the bootup always ignore the command in script.

Thanks,

Lee

The Path is correct,
check your Permissions:
$ls -l /etc/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343 Aug 19 13:34 /etc/rc.local

I think it must be owned by 'root':
$ chown root:root /etc/rc.local

and executable:
$ chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

OK,
a better way is to create an 'init script':

echo "#!/bin/sh" > /etc/init.d/autologin
echo "/bin/su - root -c /bin/sh" >> /etc/init.d/autologin
chown root:root /etc/init.d/autologin
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/autologin

and link it to /etc/rc5.d/S99autologin:

ln -sf ../init.d/autologin /etc/rc5.d/S99autologin

you can create a file named: /etc/rc.local

to start a shell without a password:

###################################

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#

/bin/su - root -c /bin/sh

###################################

I think there are much better ways for an autologin,
but this way works well for me :-)
