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. <snip>
Hi Ken,
I also posted this:
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
It would be nice to know if you've even looked at this and tried putting your user name?
Seems to me this is SUSE's way of making sure every conceivable combination of window manager and desktop environment follows the same login procedure: either autologin or require a password. What this implies is the above file is evaluated /first/... before either gdm or kdm, ergo you're probably wasting your time looking for the settings there. ;-)
Carl, It's good of you to point that out. Let me add that there's another relevant variable in the same file. But, yes, both of them have already set properly: DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="me" DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="yes" BTW, yet another perhaps relevant config file is /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm_sysconfig.conf which has the line: DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="me" Yet another file, /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin, may have something to do with the problem. But I have no idea what's supposed to be in there. Do we need to run SuSEconfig.gdm on this after setting the configuration? Or... why does /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gdm have: DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="" ??? Does *anyone* have autologin (passwordless login) working for gdm (gnome) on 9.3? Thanks, all, ken -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
