Verdex automatica login

[kaysee]

Hello,

I would like my Verdex to login as root automatically - has anyone done this, and could they let me know how?

Ideally I'd like to do it without reflashing the filesystem, and anyone with tried-and-tested instructions would be great as I don't want to lock myself out and have to reflash to be able to log back in.  I have my Gumstix set up almost perfectly for it's given job, and I don't want to have to recreate it if I can help it.

Thanks

BUMP.

I'd like my Gumstix Overo Water to boot without requiring any login.

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.

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.

Follow up...

Things are now working.
Following the directions (explicitly) as posted by Oliver (Olli) Dippel:

http://www.nabble.com/Gumstix-AutoLogin-td21088348.html#a21088348

Excerpt:

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

Now, every time I reboot my Overo Water it does right to the command
prompt without asking me to login.

Much thanks to Olli!
