GDM login without using a password
I've searched around the internet for a way to allow a user to login into GDM without using a password. 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 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Automatic login is a security risk in its self, the cracker is already one step closer. It is all controlled through gdmsetup.

As I said, the automatic login feature is not what I'm looking for. I need to set up more than one user that is able to login without a password. The computer is a home computer, so local security is not an issue. -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have seen a few suggestions to change the auth to optional instead of required. However there would be nothing to stop some one logging in as root through gdm. Maybe there is some way of fudging gnome to accept more than one passwordless user account good luck finding it Regards Craig B ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
