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.
