Fedora 12: Automatic Login

Since Fedora doesn't ship GUI configuration to set automatic/timed login over the GDM, this a simple manual configuration that may help to enable this.

GNOME uses custom configuration at /etc/gdm/custom.conf file, add these lines:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=username


the username is a login name that you want to use for automatic login.
