    How do I configure GDM for automatic logins?

    + +

    The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) can be configured to + automatically log a user in when it starts up. To do + that, you must first configure Pluggable Authentication + Module (PAM) support for gdm-autologin. On + 5.X, create a /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin file + with the following contents:

    + 
    +auth       required     pam_nologin.so
+auth       required     pam_permit.so
+account    required     pam_unix.so
+session    required     pam_permit.so
+
    + +

    On 4.X, add the following to + /etc/pam.conf:

    + + 
    +gdm-autologin    auth        required    pam_nologin.so
+gdm-autologin    auth        required    pam_permit.so
+gdm-autologin    account     required    pam_unix.so
+gdm-autologin    session     required    pam_permit.so
+
    + +

    Once PAM is configured to allow GDM automatic logins, + edit /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and set + AutomaticLoginEnable=true, and + AutomaticLogin equal to the username for which + you wish to enable automatic logins. For example:

    + + 
    +AutomaticLoginEnable=true
+AutomaticLogin=marcus
+
    + +

    That will automatically login the user + marcus as soon as GDM launches.
