We do autologin via a customized kdmrc file, but it doesn't work currently,
because xdm is started before mkxf86config.
thanks for your nice idea now I have my autologin ;) thank you
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
starts X with autologin then.
I guess the problem is a missing 'before xdm'
in /etc/init.d/mkxf86config,
although that seems to be in the latest livecd-tools versions.
Will have to work on that...
Strange, that wasn't my problem. I did not had to change my mkxf86config
script.
Ciao,
Andreas

Because I thought it would not make sense, if you let catalyst create a
user and the user does not automatically login. Because there is no
(well known to me) to login as user without knowing the password.
Additionally I found this in a example specfile (bundled with catalyst)
# If this is specified in your spec file, then the first user is also
the user
# used to start X.
Maybe everybody can interpret it in his own way, but my interpretion was
that X gets automatically started by this user -> autologin

Thanks for your information. In future I won't mail to the list if there
is *any* way i know to fix my issue. I've fixed it by an root-overlay
now (see above)
But: dont you think it makes sense on a xlivecd to log the user
automatically in? just my opinion
I do not want to argue with you, but I can't imagine that anyone wants a
xlivecd to do not login automatically if there is a user.
PS: sorry for my corrupted english.
Bye!
