Can i know the location where the suto login script is there?I want to set a auto boot for my user.I want to edit the script only.I know how to set that in GUI mode using mcc.
But i need to know sometimes the location of the auto login script.
I looked or tryied some files but did not get it right.?Can u pls figure it out.

Thanks.

A script that runs during login is either the .bash_login or .profile script. There is a /etc/profile script that is global. A person can also edit the $HOME/.profile script for local configuration changes such as adding aliases or adding a path to the PATH variable.

yes i understand but here is the file..


inux:/etc/profile.d # ls /etc/profile*
/etc/profile

/etc/profile.d:
. complete.tcsh glib2.sh gtk2.csh pkgconfig.sh xdg-enviroment.csh
.. csh.ssh gnome-filesystem.csh gtk2.sh python.csh xdg-enviroment.sh
alias.ash csh.utf8 gnome-filesystem.sh mc.csh python.sh
alljava.csh cvs.csh gnome.csh mc.sh sh.ssh
alljava.sh cvs.sh gnome.sh opensp.csh sh.utf8
bindkey.tcsh desktop-data.sh groff.csh opensp.sh tetex.csh
complete.bash glib2.csh groff.sh pkgconfig.csh tetex.sh
linux:/etc/profile.d #

where and how to set for user student to auto login..

Mandrake Control Centre->Boot, see http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/Mandriv...autologin.html

This has nothing to do with the profile scripts.

i am not looking for GUI configuration.I directly looking for edit the config file to set a auto login.i want to edit the script?

The config file for autologin is /etc/sysconfig/autologin, those scripts you mentioned earlier have nothing to do with it. I'm not sure of the format of it though so if I were you I'd enable autologin through the GUI, see what it puts in /etc/sysconfig/autologin. You can then disable it again in the GUI and then edit the /etc/sysconfig/autologin file manually.

Autologin is a function of the X display manager so it only really applies to X windows sessions. I don't think there's a way to set autologin for console sessions.
