What I'd like to have is a way to have autologin be *completely* automatic, skipping the password. It would be nice if there were also a UAF flag that would prevent non-auto logins. What I want is to fix up our operator account so that it is automatically logged in at boot time on our operator terminals, which are all contained in a secure area. I've tried half a dozen ways to do this but none has worked yet. Maybe this concept needs to be still further generalized: a file that associates various login properties of certain usernames with certain terminals, so that (for example) you could restrict the SYSTEM user to the console, or certain LAT ports, or what have you. Autologin would become one of these properties, and password-needed another. Any thoughts?
