autologin(4)

NAME
     autologin - set autologin user identity

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/autologin

     /etc/autologin.TTYLINE

DESCRIPTION
     /etc/autologin is an ASCII file containing the login user name to be used
     when autologin is enabled.  The file is used by xdm(1) and clogin(1) when
     automatically initiating a terminal session on the graphics console.

     /etc/autologin.TTYLINE is like /etc/autologin except it is used by
     getty(1m) when initiating a terminal session for the device named by
     TTYLINE.  For example /etc/autologin.ttyd1 will control the login
     processes on /dev/ttyd1.

NOTES
     Autologin is controlled by the existence of the /etc/autologin.on file.
     The file is normally created at boot time to automate the login process
     and then removed by xdm or clogin to disable the autologin process for
     succeeding terminal sessions.

FILES
     /etc/autologin, /etc/autologin.on, /etc/autologin.TTYLINE.
