do not ask for username and password

Hi
I was reading some where in the docs of the some config file few days ago, it said something lik, if you set this value to 0 then the system will not ask you for username and password.

I need to let FC5 boot into <user> without needing to type username and password.

thanks

Fixed:

# gdmsetup
Users tab > Include all uses from /etc/passwd (not for NIS)
Security tab > Enable Automatic Login
Users: drop-down menu and select the user you want to activate.
done.
