Amahi Forums

Hi!

How can i set the fedora 12 to automatically login one default user?

I am using the gnome...

Why would i like that? Becouse I would like to be able to use remote desktop on the amahi box, and VNC requires a user to be loged in before you can connect...

thanx...

EDIT: After considering the safety/security issues I have abandon the idea of auto login...

So what would be the easiest way to remote access to the amahi box? The wiki here is not very good for beginers...
I am used of windows remote desktop - when you connect to the box, it displays a login window and you enter your credentials... How is this done on linux?

Is there a way to connect to my amahi server from outside of the network and then to connect further to home computers? preferably as nice as in windows home server?

on Ubuntu you can easily change this by clicking System > Administration > Login screen
Fedora should have something similar.

Hi, I recently discussed this is my thread for newbies (like me). Here's what I posted:

AUTOMATIC LOGIN
The /etc/gdm/custom.conf file must be edited in Terminal using the Vi or Nano text editors, I used Vi. Start Terminal and type # su root to switch to root user, it wall ask for your password. Then type #vi etc/gdm/custom.conf to launch the Vi editor and open the custom.conf file, you should see the file text come up. Type a to enter editing mode, move the cursor to the bottom of the text using the arrow keys and enter this text:

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomticLogin=(username)
TimedLogin=(username)
TimedLoginDelay=0

Press ESC to exit editing mode and type :w to save the file, quit Terminal. You should now have automatic login at startup.

I've got mine working headless without worrying about automatic login. Amahi still works if you don't log into the server.

How do you connect o the box? webvnc requires user to be loged in first...

Has this issue been solved?

I'm still wondering the same.

for remote access, i am using FreeNX. It works very well and is secured using SSH. I also have a port forwarded from outside my network so that i can use it remotely without logging into the VPN.

I havent had any issues yet.
