I know messing with root is a bad idea but we needed to for a particular reason. Anyway, if you use CreateUserPkg to "create" root (yes, it already exists, but I wanted to set the password and autologin), the password gets set but automatic login does not. I examined the output package and it contains /private/etc/kcpassword but it doesn't work. I got around the issue by capturing /private/etc/kcpassword from a system where I set root to autologin. This shows root can be set to autologin, but CreateUserPkg doesn't do it. I know this is a special case but I thought I'd let you know about it.

I'm not sure what's up with automagic login, but the root package will set root's GID to 20, which is bound to cause all sorts of issues with the system.
I should probably block CreateUserPkg from generating packages with UID 0.
