I have a few beaglebone blacks that I want to automatically log in to a 
console at boot. I have successfully gotten one of them to do this, but I 
cannot remember for the life of me how I did it. Well, I remember how to 
disable lightdm so that it has to be started manually by typing 'startx' 
from the console. Most of the information I have been finding revolves 
around making changed to /etc/inittab. For instance:

1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f rfid tty1 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1

-or- 

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --autologin debian --noclear tty1

found here:

But on the BBB with the working auto login, changing inittab has no effect 
on its behavior, so I must have changed something else. I unfortunately 
don't remember what that might have been. Does anyone know of another way 
to set up auto login not using inittab? Thanks!
