[nos-bbs] ubuntu 9.1 compiles OK now, but...

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

What we do is run a script that is executed from /etc/rc.local.  This is run
at boot time.  The script calls JNOS in a the "screen" command, so that we
can attach/detach to the console from any terminal.  The script also
executes in a loop which tests the exit code of JNOS and, if not 0, restarts
it.  Works FB.

I use Ubuntu 10
 
If I start JNOS as just a "common user", the TUN and MASQUERADE doesn't load
correct and the ethernet cant find anything for my axip and 44.x.x.x links.
 
If I start JNOS as "root" all TUN and MASQUERADE works fine.
 
If I run JNOS as "root" and set a "respawn" so if JNOS dies it will restart.
 
Question...... Since I need "root" to make JNOS work correctly, and my
motherboard will reboot after a power failure, how does one get Ubuntu to
auto-login as "root" ?
 
I can make it auto-login as any other defined user. Just no option in the
menu of users for "root" to auto-login.
 
Go to any Ubuntu forum board and all you see is "Auto login as ROOT!!!!!
WE don't want to do that. WE would have a security risk"
 
I don't know who "WE" is! This is my machine and yes I do want to auto-login
as root.
 
Anyone know how it's done? 

After a power failure I want it to reboot as root, and run JNOS
automatically.
