I've got some dedicated STABLE machiens that I have set up to auto login as a dedicated suer. This users .profile then runs a shell script that starts screen, runing another application (minicom in one case). In addition the startup script uses vdicontrol to switch to the 4th virtual terminal (which is the autologin one). I've had to change the ownerships of /dev/tty3 on all of these machines to the special user to make this work. This seems wrong. If I change the /etc/ttys defs, so that this user does not sutologin, then when I manually log in as this suer all goes well, but on autologin I get a permsion failure, and getty imediatly respawns. It looks like I'm missing somethign ehre.
