I included a script below that you can build on.

We have used this to automatically startup SunNet Manager and
CiscoWorks at boot time. It changes the ownerships of /dev/console
and turns off the getty running on /dev/console (gets rid of the
login: prompt) and starts up OpenWin as a particular user, thus the
OpenWin environment in that user's home dir is started. Upon exiting
OpenWin, the ownerships and /etc/ttytab are reverted to their original
states!

Have fun w/ it!

Bill

******************************************************************************
Add a 'su' at the end of your /etc/rc file. We do this to start up openwindows
by having the user 'xnews' logged in automatically.

Put something like this at the end of /etc/rc :

        chmod 666 /dev/console
        su - xnews -c '/usr/openwin/bin/openwin -noauth' > /dev/null 2> /usr/tmp/xnews.err < /dev/console

Hi ,
        Try add this line to the end of /etc/rc.local files (assuming you are using Solaris 1.x)

login username

        The 'username' must not have password

        It might works (or add "/usr/bin/login username" just in case PATH is not yet defined

Regards Cheah

As the very last thing in /etc/rc (assuming SunOS 4.x) put the
following:

    su - hello

For Solaris 2.x you'll have to add the relevant file to /etc/rc2.d

Regards
