gdm can do it for X. (You don't need gnome to use gdm.) Try gdmsetup or edit gdm.conf. From /etc/gdm/gdm.conf : [daemon] # Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged # in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key. AutomaticLoginEnable=false AutomaticLogin= # Timed login, useful for kiosks. Log in a certain user after a certain # amount of time TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin= TimedLoginDelay=30 Regards, Ralph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
