Auto login

[Enry211]

Hello,
i'm new in this forum and it's the first time I use Pc-bsd. It seems very good, but i can't understand how to set the system to do an automatic login. Can someone explain me how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Enrico

You can enable auto-login by going to System Settings, then Login Screen. Under the Convenience tab, there will be an option to enable auto-login for your user account.

There is no such "login" screen anywhere in system settings or anywhere else in 9-release (KDE 4.7.3)

Since 9 uses GDM now, the configuration is a bit different. Take a look at:

/usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf

I think you need to add something like:

AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=whatever_username

add the 3 lines under [daemon] section to /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf
that will show who is going to be logged in

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=usr_name_to_autologin
TimedLoginDelay=0

Or add 2 lines under [damemon] section that will log in silently

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=usr_name_to_autologin
