I think you'll find it's a little distro dependent.
In RH you can edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
You can also edit .bashrc for individual login preferences
case `tty` in
/dev/tty[0-9]) setleds -D +num -caps
;;
esac
Should work, at least it does on my Debian desktop.

:>
:>
:> OK, this is probably a really dumb question
:> but I've tried searching under Google Linux
:> without much success.
:>
:> I notice that under Red Hat 8.0 the num lock
:> key is not turned on by default. It is in
:> my BIOS, but it turns off after Red Hat 8.0
:> finishes booting.
:>
:> Is there a configuration file for X or
:> in the rc.d startup scripts that can
:> re-enable the num lock key?
:>
:> Any comments or suggestions would be greatly
:> appreciated.
