Title: empty autologin-user should not be passed to PAM Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: If autologin-user in lightdm.conf is set to an empty string this should not be passed on to PAM. At least with the pam_permit module from Linux PAM which is usually employed for password-less login on Linux setting the username to an empty string will result in a successful login as the "nobody" user. This is probably never desirable. See the attached patch for a proposed fix.
