I am bringing up a Debian system. I would like to know which is the best
method for auto log in ( both as root and as non-root user).
Edit your /etc/inittab and get mingetty to auto login or spawn
your shell directly.
I believe mingetty --autologin option is what you are looking for.
If you run into any issues auto logging as root, use the
--loginprog option to start a different shell script or program
instead of the default /bin/login.
inittab/mingetty is highly configurable, so you can also for
example setup mingetty to ask for password on console, but
auto login on serial console.
