Hi,
I would like to enter directly to bash command line without typing every time login and password.
I use mandrake 10. Is there a way to do this? I think I must write in some configuration file some command....can you help me?
Thanks all...sorry for my english

bye

I don't know how it works in Mandrake, but in Fedora there's the possibility of automathic login. You can check in your login settings and look for some option you can specify which user which automathicly will login (with just two clicks you can have it working!)

To boot directly to a command line, you have to change the /etc/inittab file. In particular, the part that says id:5:initdefault:, change the 5 to a 3 and reboot. You should be greeted without the gui. You will still have to login though, but you won't have to go through a gui.

yes....bue the inittab file is already configured with the number 3....

.....there is the possibilities for automatic login, but only for the X version....

I would like an "automatic login" when enter to a shell command line...

add this: to rc.local or some file that will be executed at the end of the boot sequence.

login -f <user>
