hello,

i 'd installed dsl in standart mode with multiuserlogin, is it possible to edit any config-file to enable autologin for the standart user dsl,
i suggest that i must edit the group-config-file but i don't really know where are this file is located.

thanx for our help !

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.

This method worked for me, too!
