Loop hole in slackware 14 run on virtualbox
I installed slackware 14 on virtualbox just playing around and testing different distros.
I found that I have to issue startx command everytime I log in to get KDE started up. so I went to /etc/rc.d/rc.local I added a path to a script that only contain "startx". I rebooted the VM to test if that will work. and it did work, but lo, behold! once the system started, KDE started and I was logged in as root without having to provide a password! isn't that a loophole? or am I missing something? |

Slackware boots to console, runlevel 3 by default. Change the default runlevel to 4 in /etc/inittab to default to graphical login and start X. |
Per your other thread here, starting X from the rc.local script will indeed start it as root - don't do that!
You should read the various README's and TXT files that come with Slackware, and I would also point you to any number of online resources for understanding the GNU/Linux boot process. This would be a good place to start, and this will address this specific configuration. Good luck! |
