+This is a program you can use to automatically log in on a workstation when
+it boots.  Look for a line in /etc/inittab that looks like this:
+
+1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
+
+Replace it with this:
+
+1:2345:respawn:/sbin/autlogin tty1 joeuser
+
+And joeuser will be logged in automatically when the system boots.  To have
+some command other than a shell started, supply it as a third argument:
+
+1:2345:respawn:/sbin/autlogin tty1 joeuser startx
+
+Note that this is a potential security risk that's big enough to drive a truck
+through, and it's only guaranteed to work with pam_unix and possibly pam_pwdb.
+
+Consider yourself warned.
