It may be a bug?

Question

My english is very pool, and I'm an archlinux newbie ,but I want to tell something:
It may be a bug?
Because I had to write something like "pppoe-start" and "startxfce4" every time when I login(I use init 3 in my /etc/inittab),so I try to put them into rc.local,but I don't know how to do,and just simply write them down like below:
#!/bin/bash
# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
pppoe-start
startxfce4
When I reboot I found myself login root without password!
When I click "Log Out Dialog" and choose "Shut Down",it can't work,and I had to open terminal emulator then "shutdown -h now".
I "#pppoe-start" and it's the same,so it's because of the "startxfce4"
So,I think it may be a bug.
If you use xfce4,you can try.If it really a bug,let more people know and let archlinux team know.
If you are an chinese,you can see:

I think you should be starting pppoe using the pppd daemon as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PP … _with_pppd
And you should put the "startxfce4" line in your ~/.xinitrc file, not /etc/rc.local : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … _boot_time
