(0=Standard and 1=Standard) in the/etc/gdm/custom.conf
file. Ondisplay 0
(ctrl-alt-F7) , need to have a timed login as user X, but ondisplay 1
(ctrl-alt-F8) its not need. While logged intodisplay 0
as root, rungdmsetup
and enabled timed login for user X. When system is rebooted the RHEL5 server,display 0
comes up and performs atimed login
