merlin,
I like to start out by saying that I'm not a master at UNIX. I think you can stop the auto login with " dtconfig -d "command. To my understanding you will stop the Xlogin Manager which will stop the auto login screen. But NOTE that this means, whoever the user is will have root permission . I think form here you would have to start a script inorder to setup a user Xsession. I think all the files that you will need is located in /usr/dt/config. Look at "dtlogin.rc" file. I think this is what you're look for. I hope that the information I gave you helps. GOOD LUCK

AUTOFS(8) System Manager's Manual AUTOFS(8)
NAME
/etc/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/autofs start|stop|restart|reload|status
DESCRIPTION
autofs control the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the Linux system. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with
the start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter. The autofs script can also manually be invoked by the system administra-
tor to shut down, restart or reload the automounters.
OPERATION
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see auto.master(5)) by default to find mount points on the system. For each of
those mount points automount(8) will mount and start a thread, with the appropriate parameters, to manage the mount point.
/etc/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map against running daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have
changed and then start daemons for new or changed entries.
If a map is modified then the change will become effective immediately. If the auto.master map is modified then the autofs script must be
rerun to activate the changes.
/etc/init.d/autofs status will display the status of, automount(8), running or not.
