I can understand that part. I am baffled at what he changed in the rc.local..
The only other thing I could think of would be to change the /etc/inittab file
to run login shells instead of login managers. There is nothing I can think of
to run in rc.local that can bypass the login security.
You can run an expect script to address one of the login managers and log in
automatically, but that's not a simple change. You could start up an X session
as a user, I suppose, but the original poster never mentioned what the change
to the file was or how he did it.
Thanks,

login&passwd....
