The autologin patch wasn't part of SLES8 when I was using that, but it's in RHEL4. I don't know about SLES9 or 10. Check the man page for mingetty to make sure. To enable, just change the line in /etc/inittab from:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty console --noclear to: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty console --noclear --autologin root This will drop the console to a root (#) prompt after the system finishes coming up. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Bates, Bob > Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 11:06 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [LINUX-390] Linux under VM:Operator > > > I've was reviewing the archives, reading over notes from > Share and I still can't figure it out. > > I am running Linux under z/VM and want to be able to monitor > and interact with them through VM:Operator.
