   Would the automatic login feature be available on Slitaz 3.0?

   Excellent.
   I wrote the first line in the terminal and a new box came up with script, and searched for "auto_login" there, then changed the "no" to a "yes" and saved it (Ctrl-S).

   Have installed SliTaz 4.0, and followed the above instructions, but here in 4.0, under slim.conf (#leafpad /etc/slim.conf ), I do not find the lines

   # Auto login default user
   auto_login yes

   as I did in 3.0.

   echo "auto_login yes" >> /etc/slim.conf
   Hit Enter key.

   Have installed SliTaz 4.0, too

   This works only for bootíng / startup.
   If you log out from your session ( right mousebutton - Logout - exit )
   X closes down an starts again - Autologin doesn't work here.

   How can I fix this ?
   Some help needed.

   You know, you'd complain if Windows did that.

   The best fix? Just don't log out. If you have to then type in your user details and password like you normally would.

   What would be the interest if the session would open itself automatically just after you closed it?

   If your problem is to type the password, create a default user without; you'll just have to hit [Enter] twice.
   If you don't want to have the possibility to close the session, edit /usr/bin/tazbox:
   suppress (don't comment) line #95 "'gettext \"Close X session\"' : exit" \
