Yes, I have this setup at home, for my wife. I use kdm, and suggest you do the same, since it looks good and is easy to configure. The file to edit is kdmrc, in Debian that is /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc but the location will depend on your distribution. In kdmrc you can configure every workstation differently, if you want to. For every workstation what should be logged in automatically, define two sections like this (the hostname in this example is ws001). [X-ws001:0-Core] # Enable automatic login on this display. USE WITH EXTREME CARE! # Default is false AutoLoginEnable=true # The user to log in automatically. NEVER specify root! AutoLoginUser=inger # The password for the user to log in automatically. This is NOT required # unless the user is to be logged into a NIS or Kerberos domain. If you use # it, you must "chmod 600 kdmrc" for obvious reasons. #AutoLoginPass=secret! # The session for the user to log in automatically. This becomes useless after # the user's first login, as the last used session will take precedence. AutoLoginSession=kde # If "true", the auto-login is truly automatic, i.e., the user is logged in # when KDM comes up. If "false", the auto-login must be initiated by crashing # the X-server with Alt-Ctrl-BackSpace. Default is true #AutoLogin1st=false [X-ws001:0-Greeter] LogoArea=Logo PreselectUser=Default DefaultUser=inger NoPassEnable=true NoPassUsers=inger,isa I set the "LogoArea" to Logo rather than Clock to avoid unnecessary network trafic. Good Luck!
