I thought the pointer to gdmsetup might have been the ticket. I figured that if the option was available under gdm then this ought to show up in the setup utility. <sigh> Back to google. In my 9.3 system, the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager contains the following section:
## Type: string ## Default: # # Define the user whom should get logged in without request # DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN=""
I'm pretty sure this setting is available through YaST's /etc/sysconfig editor.
What the OP wants is both autologin and passworless login. Could I trouble you to check and see if gdmsetup has that as an option?

Mike, thanks for trying to help. Neither gdmsetup nor /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf mention anything about "passwordless" login, only "autologin". Passwordless is a much better term, unless ambiguity is what's sought.
Would you mind trying something for me? Setup autologin in gdmsetup and let me know what the results are?
Here's the whole of gdm.conf (minus the comment lines); maybe there's some other variable (but why?) necessary to get this to work.
[daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=me
TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin= TimedLoginDelay=30
{snip}
User=gdm Group=shadow
Any idea what this is? {snip}
[security] AllowRoot=true AllowRemoteRoot=false AllowRemoteAutoLogin=false
I assume that this line isn't germane. {snip} Mike
