What I'm trying to do:
1. I'm developing an application for the gumstix overo Water
2. I'm constantly developing on a host machine then copying the application to the Gumstix via the USB console port
3. After I test my app I often need to reboot the Gumstix
root@overo:~# reboot
4. Since I do this frequently, any time I can save is of high value
5. Not having to type "root" at the login would save me time.
My Goal:
configure my Overo Water to not prompt the user for a login through the console connection
In another post I saw info about creating either:
a) a file /etc/rc.local
or
b) a file /etc/init.d/autologin
But neither of these methods (even with all the chmod/chown setting) have worked.

Your gumstix already boots without requiring a login.
For example, if you're connected to a network and everything is
configured properly, you can boot your gumstix and access the
webserver. No login required.
Perhaps you could tell us what you're really trying to do....
I think what most people want when they ask this question is that they
want something to start automatically at boot time, which doesn't
require a login.
