-===== Allowing users with no password ===== 
-Sometimes (on LiveCDs for example) you might want to allow users with no password (''​passwd -d user''​) to use GDM.  
- 
-There are two changes to be done. First, edit ''/​etc/​pam.d/​system-auth''​ and find the ''​pam_unix.so''​ module for the ''​auth''​ action: ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-<​file>​auth ​           required ​       pam_unix.so try_first_pass 
-</​file>​ 
-Add ''​nullok''​ to that module'​s parameters: ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-<​file>​auth ​           required ​       pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok 
-</​file>​ 
-Second, edit ''/​etc/​gdm/​custom.conf''​ and add the following line to the ''​[security]''​ section: ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-<​file>​PasswordRequired=false 
-</​file>​ 
-Now either restart GDM or kill your current X session with Ctrl+Alt+[[:​BkSpace|BkSpace]]. ​
