Sorry, my brains was in different gears. For the automagic logon you want to have 1:1235:respawn:/bin/sh --login to replace the mingetty line. This makes root logon when the system boots completely and avoids the login: prompt on the console. The other one (with sulogin) that I was addressing is that in case of a failing fsck for example you still will be prompted for the root password. If you are not sure you will have the root password when that is needed, you also need to address the sulogin cases. Rob
