autologon of a certain user at startup
Hi NG,
on one of my Linux Machines running SuSe 8.1, I would like to automatically log on one certain user on boot-up so X and KDE starts without the necessity to enter username or password (preferrably w/ time-slot to enter a differend username but this is not a must...)
I'm sure I read somewhere how to configure the system for this behaviour but can neither remember nor find it...
Any hint would be appreciated.

If you use kdm it has that functionality built in. You set it up under the control center in kde.

Control Center, System, Login Manager, Convenience, Enable auto-login. You then need to choose the user you want to have auto-login to use. There is also a check box for Truly automatic login but not sure what that is. I have not used this feature for a some years.
As always, be careful which user you pick. Not sure I would use root if I were you but, it's your system...

Thanks for the hints.
Sure, I am not going to automatically log on root. The feature is needed for an audio system in my living room where ease of use is prio 1.
