autologin problem
hi
i want to get autologin enabled for root , I know it is not secure but i need to now. I am using RH 9 , in GNOME I ticked the timed login for root and then i edited the rc.local file to run a program(mplayer ) hoping that it will automatically log root in and then play a movie, but it didn't, it didn't show me the X windows and i see whole bunch of mplayer starting up messages on the shell screen. i even could not startx, xauth: error in locking authorigh file /root/xauthority, can not create temp file for here document read only file system. Fatal server error: could not create lock file in /tmp/.tx0-lock. is there a way to remove what i did and reconfigure the system to enable autologin(and how do i do that)? thanks |
after a long delay, the xwindows started, but i still can't make autologin work.
they automatic login and timed login don't seem to work. thanks |
