Can I auto log on to a MWM screen?

[a31modela]

Is it possible to have the mwm session on a box auto log in ? I am building a look up terminal ( at the same time I am learning Linux) that has a menu on it that allows the user to XTerm into an application. The security is done at the application, I just want to have the terminal already logged onto a mwm screen with no log on necessary. I would put a user account in as the auto log on but nobody would have access to the account or the pword.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

SOme more points,

After poking around a bit, I found a file named Xresources that contains the configuration of the Xlogin file ( the log on box) . In the Xresources file, there is a line that says xlogin*namePrompt Log In.

Now, if that is where the user puts in their name, then shouldn't there be somwhere that takes that info & authenticates the user?

Question is where is the file that takes the result of xlogon*namePrompt and accepts the id & password? Would I be able to change that file to equal a user id & pword instead of the result of the variable?

Thanks Again,

Steve

Hello,

I have a line at the end of my /etc/inittab says :

xi:5:respawn:su -l -c startx ACCOUNTNAMEHERE

This starts X runlevel 5 as the specified account
