CentOS 6 auto logon

Currently I am using a CentOS 6.2 desktop machine for my forward view with 2x 22″. One of my wishes is to have the system log on automatically using my account.

This is fairly simple to accomplish. Just edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf with your favourite editor. Then, under the daemon section, add 2 lines so it looks like the code below (obviously change username to the username you want to use)

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=username

Next step will be the auto-startup of X-Plane 9 using both 22″ monitors…
