/etc/inittab is probably the right idea: see the rungetty line, esp. the autologin part.

Copy /etc/inittab-save over /etc/inittab, and you'll get the regular few text logins.

Not working: tc still logs in auto w/o asking for its pwd.

Even though I added etc/inittab to /opt/.filetool.lst, no effect.

maybe: in your /home/tc/.profile, last line contents:

then startx

comment it out; or: comment out the last line of your /etc/skel/.profile file, and save it to /opt/.filetool.lst

i didn't try it myself

Commenting out startx was pointless in both files. It just avoids X to start whilst tc is already auto logged-in.

i see now what you want; maybe, you can edit the line USER in /etc/tc-config; it shows "tc", i don't know if it is safe to let it blank (USER=""), and then save the file in .filetool.lst, but it could be a possibility

The file /root/.profile does su - "$TCUSER" which automatically logs you in regardless of what you do with inittab.  So you'll need to change both /etc/inittab and /root/.profile, plus /etc/shadow for password.

As far as I can recall, TC doesn't have the telinit command, so if you're trying to restore inittab from a backup it probably won't work.  You may need to remaster.  In DSL I ran the command "telinit q" from bootlocal.sh in order to reread inittab restored from a backup.  In TC I remastered to use a custom inittab, and I haven't bothered to see if things have changed since.

There is no telinit, but you can signal init to reload /etc/inittab with
kill -SIGHUP 1

However, this will not help as init will execute the autologin before you can signal it to reload inittab. The only way you can prevent auto-login is to re-create the tinycore.gz. For example,

mkdir /tmp/extract
cd /tmp/extract
zcat /path/to/tinycore.gz | cpio -i -H newc -d
cp etc/inittab-save etc/inittab
find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > /path/to/tinycore.gz


If you need help with that, the wiki has more details.

SUCCESS!

Takes not even 2min to perform. Many thanks.
