user gets automagicly loged in{it was somewhere on f.g.o but i've lost the
link
2.i have a nice h10 iriver {utp mode} that gets automounted by ivman with no
ptoblems but ifp-gnome complains that I'm not in plugdev group{sudo groups
user sais something else} or that it's not connected{wich is{sais so right
on the player screen}} and can't figure this one
3. I don't know how to configure fetchyahoo to download my mail to be read

1) You didn't specify where you want your user to auto login .
1.1) If you mean to auto log into console mode, then there is a way with mingetty.
You have to add a line into your "/etc/inittab" file:
--------
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear --autologin USERNAME tty1
--------
Of course you have to do "emerge mingetty" before that.
1.2.) If you meant to auto login into your Desktop (KDE, Gnome,...etc.) the easiest
way is to log into Gnome or KDE as root and to change the "login manager"
preferences.

2) As root execute the command: "gpasswd -a USERNAME plugdev".

3) I have no idea.

In its default home directory.

mingetty solution seams redundant as i can get this done with avaiable
packages installed already on my system.

This also does not seem to be the best solution to have a login manager
since I have only a user

My user is listed in plugdev already, that is why I'm puzzeled by that error

Well, then I am not sure what exactly you want to do.

This i wanted to to:
# /etc/conf.d/local.start

# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output)
/bin/su - cuci -c /bin/bash

But initially I did: su -c user /bin/bash & did not worked
Very simple way to get rid of xdm/kdm/ stuff

I'm not sure that putting this in local.start is the right thing to
do.  It basically means that the init scripts will never complete, so
your system is never 'fully' booted.  It's mostly a semantic
difference, and I'm probably just being pedantic about it...

It might be better to modify /etc/inittab to try something like:

c1:2345:respawn:/bin/su - cuci -c /bin/bash -i --login >/dev/tty1
</dev/tty1 2>&1
c2:2345:respawn:/bin/su - cuci -c /bin/bash -i --login >/dev/tty2
</dev/tty2 2>&1
...

I just tried this on my system, and it seems to do what you want.

Just my ${currency}x0.02
