In Gnome (GDM) setup an automatic login as a pipe, the program to run
then a pipe (|). I then wrote a simple script that evaluated the
$DISPLAY env and then return the appropriate loginname. In my case, I
changed the hostnames of the terminals and created matching system
accounts. If the user doesn't enter a username within 30 seconds, it
defaults to the autologin account.
Example, add the following lines to the specified sections of
/etc/gdm/custom.conf:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=/usr/bin/autologin.pl|
TimedLoginDelay=30
[security]
AllowRemoteAutoLogin=true
Create the autologin script "/usr/bin/autologin.pl"
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my ($disp) = split /:/, $ENV{'DISPLAY'};
#Add per-machine specific users here:
# ie. $disp = "johns" if ($disp eq "ws025");
print $disp;
Make sure autologin.pl is executable and you have restarted gdm.
