By the end of this page, the reader will be able to enable autologin
and select a user to automatically login.</p>

<p its:locNote="TRANSLATORS: 'Administrator' and 'Automatic Login' are
strings from the Users dialog in the Settings panel user interface.">A user
with an <em>Administrator</em> account type can
<link href="help:gnome-help/user-autologin">enable <em>Automatic Login</em>
from the <app>Settings</app></link> panel. You can also set up autologin
manually in the <sys its:translate="no">GDM</sys> custom configuration
file, as follows.</p>
<p>Edit the <file its:translate="no">/etc/gdm/custom.conf</file> file and make
sure that the <code>[daemon]</code> section in the file specifies the
following:</p>
<listing its:translate="no">
<title><file>custom.conf</file></title>
<code>
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=<input>True</input>
AutomaticLogin=<input>username</input>
</code>
</listing>
<p>Replace the <input its:translate="no">username</input> with the user that
you want to be automatically logged in.</p>
<note>
<p>The <file its:translate="no">custom.conf</file> file can usually be found
in <file its:translate="no">/etc/gdm/</file>, but the location may differ
depending on your distribution.</p>
