Custom GDM Configuration For Auto And Timed Login — Fedora Unity Project
For internal VM's, an autologin on the console is convenient when you access the machines over VNC (protected network).
To use the gui for Root on a VM, it's also easier to allow log in as root (protected network).
cd /etc/pam.d
grep root gdm*
gdm:#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
gdm-fingerprint:#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
gdm-password:#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
gdm-smartcard:auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
Then edit and comment out the "!=" root lines.
To allow autologin to an account from GDM on boot, you must boot runlevel 5 to use this...
vi /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=root
(root is dicey security wise, but so is an account with admin priviledges as on Ubuntu...)
