That depends on where you want to login - console, KDE, GNOME, another WM?

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.

If you need to execute something put it to 
/etc/conf.d/local.start or
/etc/conf.d/local.stop
The it is executed after the other services have been started up.

Does not fully work, since some services require the coda
volumes mounted. So my only idea was to change /etc/init.d/venus

But: there's another problem. Every user has to log into coda
by its own. This is bad if all user's homedirs should sit on coda.

Well then you can either copy one of the startscripts, modify it to do
the coda stuff and add it to boot runlevel or

Put the login thingy as first line in a .-File that is executed upon
login for every user. .bashrc or something.

Modify those init scripts, adding or changing a 'depends' line.  By default 
init scripts are config protected so your changes will not be overwritten 
willy-nilly.

If it is really something every local user needs to do, throw it 
in /etc/profile.d -- those files are sourced by /etc/profile, which is read 
by sh, bash, and zsh (at least), for all (?) shells.

AFAIK there are PAM modules for this. Maybe not in portage, though.

Thought about AFS?

hmm. would require me to switch over to PAM. 

Coda's very unreliable nevertheless, so I'm probably going to write
some management daemon which handles venus startup, logins, 
(dis-)connects, etc.

Or maybe I'm going to write my own distributed fs which has full
unix semantics (via FUSE) ...

Has no good caching an disconnected operation, no useless for me.

Seems so :-)

Good luck.

What's wrong with AFS caching?
