<PRE>Le 06/04/2012 22:53, Colin Guthrie a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Couldn't agree more. I'd say we can happily provide a tool to configure
</I>&gt;<i> autologin, but if that is configured, it basically just sets the DM to
</I>&gt;<i> gdm, and lets' it do the autologin.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> The fact that gdm is used should be mostly hidden from users.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; From what I've seen, gdm seems to be the best implementation of the
</I>&gt;<i> whole pam and authentication stuff, so this would be my personal favourite.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Col
</I>Please note that autologin is lightweight and fast, so I use it for very 
old systems, where even the 30Mb of RAM eaten by gdm count.
But I just can agree that if no one has time to fix it, we can drop it. 
I'll be away from computers for  15 days ...
