<p><b>How do I configure GDM for automatic logins?</b></p>
<!-- A23 -->
<p>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 <em>gdm-autologin</em>. On
5.X, create a <tt>/etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin</tt> file
with the following contents:</p>
<pre>
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_permit.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_permit.so
</pre>
<p>On 4.X, add the following to
<tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt>:</p>
<pre>
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
</pre>
<p>Once PAM is configured to allow GDM automatic logins,
edit <tt>/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf</tt>, and set
<tt>AutomaticLoginEnable=true</tt>, and
<tt>AutomaticLogin</tt> equal to the username for which
you wish to enable automatic logins. For example:</p>
<pre>
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=marcus
</pre>
<p>That will automatically login the user
<em>marcus</em> as soon as GDM launches.</p>
