I'm running Gnome 2.4 on 5.2.1-RELEASE. I've configured gdm to run at boot time and would like it to automatically log me in. However, it always prompts me for a password. Scanning the archives, I saw that others suggested copying /etc/pam.d/gdm to /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin. I did this but it didn't fix anything. Here's my gdm/gdm-autologin: # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/pam.d/gdm,v 1.7 2003/04/30 21:57:54 markm Exp $ # # PAM configuration for the "gdm" service # # auth auth required pam_nologin.so no_warn #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_permit.so # account #account required pam_krb5.so account required pam_unix.so # session #session optional pam_ssh.so session required pam_permit.so What am I missing? Also, if I select "Reboot" or "Shut down" from the logout menu as root, the machine just hangs. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide. Chris Radlinski
