It might be a backup problem.  I just recently learned that the restore is done by user 'dsl', so it cannot overwrite files in /etc.  Instead of adding the file to your backup, try making it a mydsl package which will be loaded by root.  There is a bit of info about this here (ke4nt's post):

hi, I have another problem, but it might be at the right place here. I don't want to disable autologin but to autologin another user. I want to install the giantdisc player and this needs a user called 'music'.

maybe anyone can help...

thx

What type of DSL installation to you have? LiveCD...Frugal...Debian-style....other?
Does the giantdisc player work already? If not, that should probably be fixed before moving on to the autologin.

I'm using the installed version on hd (DSL 1.5) it is the debian like (option 3 in the install menu) I think.

I thought it might be easier to get the autologin working for the user first instead of setting up a multiuser login, install giantdisk and after that turn back to singleuser... but maybe I'm wrong.

An application might need a specific user, but that does not mean that you have to be logged in as that user.  I don't know what giantdisk is, so this is just guessing.

You can change what user is logged in automatically in runlevel 5 by changing /.bash_profile.  Change "dsl" to "music".
