When I boot a workstation I want that station to automaticly login as a specfic user with out any keyboard interaction for the user. Is this possible? If so how?
 
I have a number of application workstations that only run 1 application. The application has the security needed to protect itself. We now log that workstation in as a general user. It would be nice to not have to login to Unix and then log into the application also.
 
add a line

/etc/inittab:

mled:2:eek:nce:su - user -c /path/ap </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1
** all in one line (assuming your program does not require a meaning input
gnu screen utility can be used to detach a program off the terminal requiring a meaning input time-after-time
