Are you using KDE as your desktop manager? If so then start up the control centre and select System|Login Manager then click on the Convenience tab. Top left of this tab is "Automatic Login". If you are not using KDE (which in fact you might not be, since you mentioned gdmsetup) then I have no other suggestions. HTH, Andy
