Hello folks.

I'v set up gdm-autologin at /etc/pam.d/ and done everything as told in faq
( http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q23 )

It asks for user to pass in, is this normal behavior.. because i expected
that when i fire up my computer, it automatically logs in and starts gnome
session.. as windows does naturally..

am i missing something here or does freebsd faq mislead me?
