Automatic login

[NewIT_Marcus]

We use an SD card for running some tests on plugs from time to time - I got fed up of logging in as root every time:

* Install mingetty

Code:

apt-get install mingetty

* Amend /etc/event.d/ttyS0

Code:

#exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin root --noclear ttyS0

Now I see:

Code:

ubuntu login: root (automatic login)
