[Bug 706587] gdmsetup "autologin" setting disagrees with user-admin "Password: Asked on login" setting

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again
and we appreciate your help.

Title:
  gdmsetup "autologin" setting disagrees with user-admin "Password:
  Asked on login" setting

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  In gdmsetup, I can set myself to autologin with a particular account.
  However, if I run users-admin, that account says "Password: asked on
  login", even though it's *not* asked on login (because I've got
  autologin turned on). This is mightily confusing to people who do not
  understand how the underlying bits all fit together, i.e., everybody
  :)
