Hell, why bother even allowing it to login. Kill the getty's and dump strait
to a root bash :) This can be easily (fairly) done by changing inittab. Just
delete the last 5 line that spawn agetty's (Mine only uses 3 getty's... I
really don't see why you need six to begin with) and replace the first with
/bin/bash. Also, change one of the scripts to startx... hell, I'm not sure,
but I think you could even have inittab respawn startx!

>>don't ya? <g>
Does grandma have high speed internet? I doubt it. If so, dhcp. Otherwise
I'm sure a dial-up script for a modem will work. just make it linked to a
button on the desktop.. really, it shouldn't be to hard (tedious, but not
hard) to make a gentoo box easy enough for anyone. If not.. buy a mac. LOL.
Thanks for the laughs though. Peace.
