I have a laptop as well, and I'm pretty sure that security is not that much of an issue for me; as ultimately convenience is. If you find an answer to this, please cc it to this group.

I think that's not a very good solution. I think it's strange that I need to start a gui to do something automiticly. On my old laptop xdm takes about 10 sec. to start - kdm/gdm would properply be more slow. It must be possible with a non-gui application. /Soren |

And if the automatic login is activated, perhaps KDM doesn't even start up at all (or at least not all the way), although I haven't tried that out. > It must be possible with a non-gui application. Perhaps this is what you're searching for... http://freshmeat.net/projects/qlogin/ -- Ciao, Philipp |

I tried about a year ago and both kdm and gdm started the gui and then did a login. The problem with kdm/gdm is that they depend on kde/gnome, and I would love it if I didn't have to install kde/gnome. > >>It must be possible with a non-gui application. > > > Perhaps this is what you're searching for... > http://freshmeat.net/projects/qlogin/ YES! That's what I'm looking. It's working great. Thanks. Now I can log into a console automaticly. Now I would like to start X automaticly. Is there a file where I can edit what programs are started on login. Neither .bashrc or .login gets sourced on login. /Soren > |

Should not be too hard to put another "startx" in that. Of course you shouldn't switch every terminal to qlogin if you don't want to have that many X-Sessions started ;-) -- Ciao, Philipp |

As to .bashrc not getting sourced. Try .bash_profile. I vaguely remember .bashrc only getting sourced by Xterms and the like... but I'm not sure. -- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Jordan T.
