I got three responses (all different).
I have not had time to try any of them so far.

This isn't on the web, but...
in the /etc/inittab file, set the initdefault to 4
define an s4 level that runs scripts in rc4 (follow the s3 process...)
define a /etc/rc4.d/S99sulogin that su's to a user, whose login process
is what you want...
Now, this is mostly theory, but it should work.

Take a look at XDM. It comes with Solaris, and instead of using the login widget, you should be able to do a little script work and start up pretty much whatever you want. If you want stuff to run as a non-root user ID, just do a "su - <username> -c <startup script>".

I would like it to be running Open Windows, to have a numbers of "active" windows running various applications, and to start with xlock or similar security screen automagically after every reboot WITHOUT any one explicitly logging on to it or even having to touch the keyboard or mouse (& not running as root).
