automatic login - kiosk

[Matt Kay <matt@sel.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a kiosk and my missing link is finding a way of 
bypassing the user input needed at the login shell, such that when the 
machine starts up, the 'kiosk' user is automatically logged in without 
need for any input. I have been fiddling around with inittab, su etc. 
but have had no luck and google comes up dry.

BTW I cannot use gdm.

Thanks in advance,
Matt Kay
