Terminal auto-login user setting

[Nojwe]

Running 0.5.1.

It would be great to be able to set a default user to log into a terminal session instead of defaulting to root. Similar to setting a default user in dietpi.txt at first boot.

Related to another issue we had the idea to not start the shell directly when accessing the terminal page, but instead start login to show a regular login prompt. This enhance security as well and one can use any user. But it also means an additional step when using the terminal.

I'm wondering what command this would use to start. Maybe something like su - <user> -s/bin/bash?

It could be even login -f <user>. login used used by agetty for regular local console logins as well, btw.

Otherwise, I'd generally prefer sudo over su. sudo -su <user> (-s -u) starts with the default shell of the user (when there is no $SHELL in environment), sudo -iu <user> does the same but with a login shell (sourcing /etc/profile etc).
