Hi, I am trying to use an autologin feature that I saw in the "daemon" section of the gdm configuration page (http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/configuration.html.en#daemonsection) I want to launch a shell script from the value of the "AutomaticLogin" parameter ending with a '|' character as stated in the doc. Unfortunately, that doesn't work and gdm try to authenticate the script path as a user name instead of launching the script. I am using gdm 2.22.0. Has this feature been removed from this gdm version or am I missing something ? Here are the related syslog msg: Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: state AUTHENTICATED Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: trying to get updated username Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: username is '/usr/local/sbin/autolog|' Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: old-username='/usr/local/sbin/autolog|' new-username='/usr/local/sbin/autolog|' Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: Calling Authenticated Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-simple-slave[23926]: DEBUG: session_message_handler: destination=(null) obj_path=/org/gnome/DisplayManager/Session interface=org.gnome.DisplayManager.Session method=Authenticated Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-simple-slave[23926]: DEBUG: GdmSessionDirect: Emitting 'authenticated' signal Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: obj_path=/org/gnome/DisplayManager/Session interface=org.gnome.DisplayManager.Session method=Authorize Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: attempting to change state to AUTHORIZED Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: determining if authenticated user is authorized to session Aug 25 22:15:17 localhost gdm-session-worker[24047]: DEBUG: GdmSessionWorker: user is not authorized to log in: User not known to the underlying authentication module Thanks by advance for any suggestion.
