There seems to be an option about to autologin to FreeBSD here:

but I can't figure out how to use this. Do I need to make any changes to this?

How to auto-login on boot up

but I'm stiil confused.

Is there a simple (uptodate) guide?

It looks like gettytab now has an autologin entry by default now. You just need to *use* it via the /etc/ttys file.

This wlll be something like:

# Original
#ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         xterm   on  secure

# New
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty autologin"         xterm   on  secure

Try following guide to autologin as a user and start X from the login shells configuration file (from there on eventually Kodi from ~/.xinitrc).

Trouble calling 'startx' in Start-Up Script

Hello everyone! This is my first post! I'm trying to set-up a Thin Client that when booted will automatically log into a server for vnc. Right now, I have a bash shell script at /etc/rc.d/thinclient #!/bin/sh echo "thinclient script starting..." SERVER_IP="192.168.1.124"...
