Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

I followed instructions in https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autologon to be able to login automatically on my Arch Linux host under a Windows 10 host, providing credentials as explained for Windows guests (not described for Linux guests), which shows in syslog on the Linux guest as ...

pam_vbox_setcred called, iFlags=0x4
pam_vbox_setcred: argv[0] = debug

but pam_vbox is unable to subsequently retrieve the credentials leaving the following error in syslog:
