Hi,

I am trying to use an autologin feature that I saw in the "daemon"
section of the gdm configuration page
(http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/configuration.html.en#daemonsection)
I want to launch a shell script from the value of the "AutomaticLogin"
parameter ending with a '|' character as stated in the doc.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work and gdm try to authenticate the script
path as a user name instead of launching the script.

I am using gdm 2.22.0. Has this feature been removed from this gdm
version or am I missing something ?

Here are the related syslog msg:

Thanks by advance for any suggestion.

Regards.
