I installed an OpenBSD desktop and in the /etc:
rc.conf.local:xdm_flags= # enabled during install
How can I set the automatic login for a user without prompting for
password?
It seems one should be able to get getty(8) to do this using /etc/ttys.
I tried:
console "/usr/bin/su -l USER -c /usr/X11R6/bin/startx" xterm on secure
which automatically launched X, but I didn't have access to the console
(i.e., no write permission on /dev/console, no keyboard, etc.). I looked
into fbtab(5), but I'm not sure how this works in this situation. It
seems the default fbtab should suffice.
I also tried:
console "/usr/bin/login -f USER" vt220 on secure
but that didn't work. It's apparently not setting up the login
environment properly. I figured it I could get a user logged in. From
that point you could run startx(1) from the user's login script.
If someone knows how to do this properly via getty(8), I would be very
interested.
