I found this info in a text file of mine (copied from somewhere, but 
don't remember the source). I remember I used it once to create an 
autologin workstation for someone who really wouldn't want to know 
anything about usernames, password or this while unix type of thing. And 
as I recall it worked ;)


1. Add to the /etc/gettytab file the following strings:

             test:\
                 :al=test:ht:np:sp#115200:
                                    
Explanation:

            test:\   - entry name, autologin will use this username;
            al=test - autologin username;
            ht - terminal has real tabs;
            np - 8-bit chars;
            (optional) sp#115200 - line speed;

2. Edit /etc/ttys file:

           ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty test"         cons25 on  secure
                                                            
                   
Change 'Pc' with test.
