Neil is right. GDM and KDM have their own built-in auto-login mechanisms.
If you're using xdm, I think you'll have to play with the /etc/X11 files a
bit
more.
If you just want a startx with a modified .xinitrc, changing the inittab to
run
whatever you want would suffice. However, doing it in
/etc/conf.d/local.start
or inittab may seem the same but it's not.
Personally, I wouldn't add an autologin command to local.start, since some
services might depend on it to start, and they wouldn't be able until
that command you add to local.start finishes. You would have to force
the creation of a child process, so that the parent can stop and the init
procedure
can go on.
