How Linode makes users to autologin to shellinabox?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Linode users can login to their servers through so called Lish, which is in 
fact Shell in a box. So I wonder how it is possible to login and manage 
multiple servers from a single instance of Shell in a box without entering a 
root password? 

I know I can set destination IP in the configuration file, but it is not ok to 
change the main configuration file for multi-user environment. 

As for password the 
https://github.com/anilgulecha/shellinabox/blob/master/README says something 
about autologin feature. Is it already implemented or that fork on GitHub 
doesn't have anything with the one on Google Code?

In other words, is it possible to do something like 
https://localhost:4200/?h=google.com&u=root&p=mypassword? Would be perfect if 
we could indicate various destination hostname directly in a browser's address 
bar.

Hi
Did you get to know if the auto login feature is enabled? I am also interested 
in it
