It's not listed in Debian's package manager, because there is none ;) RPM
only.

What is it?
===========
Autologin is a tool that lets you bypass the login screens on a unix system.
It needs to be installed and configured by root (it is definitely not a
cracking tool ;) ).
Possible uses include providing a simple end-user system as well as creating
a one-purpose (e.g. web browsing) station that returns to where it's supposed

to be after a reboot or power outage without any intervention.
