I have a linux box running RH6.x that I want to have booting directly in to X-windows without having to log in first. The various network services still need to be started so that I can telnet in - Question is, in what order are the start up scripts run, and which one(s) do I need to hack to skip the login ?
The login is in two parts. The login: prompt is caused by getty, which is launched by init on the correct tty. The password: prompt is from /bin/login. I think roothat uses mingetty. inittab will tell you.
Or better still, where can I find documents on the boot sequence ?
inittab(5), init(8) man pages should be of use.
