Fedora 10 Autologin


Took a small detour to Fedora land, I found no option how to enable autologin in gnome, so here’s how to do it.
Please remember to back up your files first! :
cp /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas.backup
nano /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas
and locate
`
daemon/AutomaticLoginEnable
b
false  Change this to true.
`
And finally edit this:
`
daemon/AutomaticLogin
s
  Put the username here.
`
If you have look a bit further down, you’ll find options how to enable timed login too, if you use that instead you must leave auto login disabled.
