Introduction
In this lab, we will explore the Linux mingetty command and learn how to configure it for automatic login on a Linux system. The mingetty command is a lightweight alternative to the standard getty program used for managing virtual terminals, and it is commonly used to provide a login prompt on these terminals. We will first understand the basic usage and functionality of the mingetty command, and then proceed to configure it to enable automatic login for a specific user. Additionally, we will explore how to customize the login prompt displayed by mingetty.
This lab covers essential networking and communication skills, including managing virtual terminals, configuring system services, and customizing user interfaces. By the end of this lab, you will have a better understanding of the mingetty command and its practical applications in Linux system administration.
