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

Tim Towtdi  - Much appreciated   |2009-05-25 09:15:31 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) Reply 0   0
