I had to find rungetty_1.2 in order to get the --autologin feature to
work.
Earlier versions apparently dont support that parameter.

To get an autologin for user fishbin on the first console session in
runlevel 3 only.
(This is under mandrake 9.1)

/etc/inittab
---------------
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:3:once:/usr/sbin/rungetty -u fishbin --autologin fishbin tty1
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
