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. 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.
