I need to login as user (dsl) without the system ask me username and password.
I have some ideas to manipulate inittab but if exist a specific configuration or an method in DSL standards I prefer use it.

The default in a liveCD/frugal DSL system is to behave as you described.  I'm guessing you have done a traditional harddrive install rather than frugal.

There should be two inittab files in /etc....the one you are using is probably for a multiuser system.

There is also /.bash_profile, which in the frugal setup would automatically log you in as a regular user (typically dsl).  I don't know if this works in a traditional harddrive install, though.  It might need some tweaking.

I have substituted the standard inittab (yes I have installed DSL on hd) found in /etc/ with the single user inittab from a DSL booted from live CD

thankyou for precious suggestion
