Re: autologin for debian

This is what I've got under /etc/gdm/custom.conf

which is the equivalent file... (In Ubuntu)

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=guest
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=guest
TimedLoginDelay=10
DefaultSession=gnome

I'm not sure why timed login is enabled...
