Hello-
I am trying to set up ELKS running on a 286 laptop in a display case. In
case of power failure, I don't want to have to login and start the program
running. So how do I automatically login user1 and start my program?
(Basically the program would print digits of pi to the screen.)

If you are happy running as root you can use /etc/inittab.
Looks like setuid is in dev86 so you may be able to write a c wrapper to
setuid to user1.
