Following are the steps to enable automatic user login in RHEL7:
Remove the original getty@tty1.service symlink:
[root@host]# rm /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service
Make a copy of the getty@.service file and name it getty@tty1.service:
[root@host]# cp /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
Open /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service file using text editor and edit ExecStart values like this (the last line, must be ADDED):
[root@host]# vim /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service [Service] ... ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin root --noclear %I ... [Install] ... Alias=getty@tty1.service
Make a symlink in getty.target.wants:
[root@host]# ln -s /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service
Reboot the system and you will be logged in as root.
Please Note: It is highly recommend to avoid auto login of root user according to security reasons.
