>Description:

FreeBSD 3.X and 4.X have with "autologin" support in getty.  We
use this to ensure we have a root shell on serial terminals.  While
this is documented in the manpage, it would be nice to get example
entries into gettytab and ttys.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

Here are sample entries that could be added to gettytab/ttys:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# autologin - automatically log root in on a console
#

autologin|al.9600:\
	:al=root:tc=std.9600:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# automatically log root in on a physically secure console
#console	"/usr/libexec/getty autologin"	console on  secure
