I know that GDM has an automatic login feature, but that's not what I'm looking. I really do not wish to create a user with an empty password, in order not to compromise the entire system security. I found a mini-HOWTO which suggests using the pam_filelist module. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this module in the ports system. Is there any other way to allow this user to login without using a password only using GDM? -- Roey
