mingetty autologin

Sep 26, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



I'm trying to enable autologin on a slax based embedded linux (for a kiosk device). I changed inittab this way:



original:



c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux



to:



c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear --autologin=root tty1



On reboot, instead of autologin, on console 1 i see:



Welcome.. slax login: root (automatic login) Password:



and asks me the password. So autologin automatically writes user but not password. What's the problem?? :-( The same happens if I use another user.
