Other Help Topics :: Disable Autologin

Hi All!

Any chance to disable the Autologin?
If i try to start Runlevel 3, DSL is automatic login as root.

regards
Stefan

I Think you should reinstall your DSL .. and choose enable multiuser ..

gitu kali mas .. coba ajah dulu

Well,
I tried doing dsl-hdinstall for multiusers and singleuser and I found the difference in /etc/inittab:

for singleuser with autologin:
< 1:12345:respawn:/bin/bash -login >/dev/tty1 2>&1 </dev/tty1
< 2:234:respawn:/bin/bash -login >/dev/tty2 2>&1 </dev/tty2
< 3:234:respawn:/bin/bash -login >/dev/tty3 2>&1 </dev/tty3
< 4:234:respawn:/bin/bash -login >/dev/tty4 2>&1 </dev/tty4

for multiuser and no autoloin:
> 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
> 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty2
> 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty3
> 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty4

I haven't tried this myself. Let me know if you find out anyhing.

Agus is correct. You don't need to reinstall...just edit a couple of files.
Use /sbin/getty instead of /bin/bash in /etc/inittab.
/.bash_profile should be edited to remove the lines concerning "su dsl" (or just delete that file if it will make things easier).
/home/dsl/.bash_profile should be edited to remove the lines concerning "startx".
You will also need to set up passwords if you haven't already done this.

This works for me, but another user has expressed that it didn't work for him, so it apparently isn't a universal solution.

Is there a new solution to disable the autologin outthere? I replaced the bin/bash with sbin/getty and add the /etc/inittab to the backup filetool but it didnt work ;-( I can not use the multiuser hd-install because I use the usb stick with usb-zip pendrive install version.
