Im setting up a machine as a frontend for MythTV, and I want it to boot up all the way to usermode (as the user mythtv) with no login along the line.
I ASSUME that I should be doing something in /etc/inittab, but its not obvious what.
Someone out there must have setup a system like this before (no login) can you give me some pointers???

There's autologin feature manually:

if you use gdm, similarly if you use kdm it is possible to autologin as well :)
if you however use another desktop, then things may change a bit.

Thanks, but while out walking the dogs I thought about the problem (I get all my greak inspirations either in the shower or out with the dogs,- the mind is in neutral in both cases) and went to look for options on /bin/mingetty which is what xinitrc executes.
Sure enough there is an --autologin <username> option there, and thats cleaner, and less likely to change...
Thanks again tho,
