Hi Chung,
Wah sound like a linux specific questions ? Anyway, there is two
way to do the things :-
First set the overwrite the login process and set it to logon to
default user or not at all. This for sure will works but you need to know c
code and where to do the patch.
Secondly , find
in file set password required to no.

Actually you can bypass login by running your ap, before it gets there. (You
need to understand about the "&" in start up scripts.)
(Depending on distro, Slackware preferred) But in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file,
put in...
/the/path/to/your_file.qt
(You might want to do a search for linux start up scripts, for further
information)

Here is how we do it - keep in mind we don't use qtopia, so hopefully this still applies:
1. Make all changes in /etc/inittab
1. First pick a new run level, say 4
2. Turn off the getty for console in run level 4
(gettys section)
old:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
new:
1:235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
Then add your to start at runlevel 4:
101:4:respawn:/your_app
To 'autorun' switch default runlevel to 4:
id:4:initdefault
Keep in mind you will need some 'backdoor' method (telnet, alternate virtual terminal) to go beck to run level 3 and get the login back. We added a button in our app to do this, and then reboot back to runlevel 3.
Hope this helps!
