Gnome - automatic logon


Fedora 8 - Automatic Logon

vim /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
AutomaticLogin=username
AutomaticLoginEnable=true


Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 - Automatic Logon

Fedora 9 requires a slightly different configuration.
Fedora 10 also requires this configuration.

vim /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=yourusername
TimedLoginDelay=0

 

Reboot and Gnome will automatically log in as username

This was very helpful. Thanx!
I read about AutomaticLogon into Gnome in other
articles, but mostly they only cover the GUI-options, and I don't know if it is
typically Fedora 10, but I did not have the "Login Window"-option under
my System->Administration-menu. (where they mostly point at)
