Hi all,
I was wondering if someone knows how to "automatically" login as root with gdm and gnome.
I have been doing some searching, and havent been able to find a method. I dont want to login automatically all the time - its just part of install setup.
- kickstart install
- post section do somethings
- setup so on reboot auto login as root
- complete installing some things and REMOVE the auto root login.
If you're doing it via kickstart (which is what I have), you can try something like this in the kickstart post sections: %post useradd -p '$1$aqFmf2PA$VVacErRFawntEp9asdasasdasd' kwan sed -i -e "s/^(AutomaticLoginEnable=).*$/\1true/" /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf sed -i -e "s/^(AutomaticLogin=).*$/\1kwan/" /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
All that does is add the AutomaticLogin to gdm.. Not sure if it works for root thogh.
This is what I am looking at trying to do. I have it all working except the auto root login.
I have looked at gdmsetup on centos 5.3 x86_64 and dont see a setup for it. I have setup gdm to auto login as a regular user but that doesnt work for me.
How does one setup gdm to login as root automatically?
Thanks,
