gdm had a very nice feature... I could set it to

at least, I can't find it...

If anyone knows where to find this in the gui or the name of the file I
need to edit to get this to happen again, I would really appreciate it...
Open the KDE Control Center (kcontrol), go to System Administration->Login
Manager->Convenience. Go into administrator mode, then check 'Enable
Auto-Login'. Choose a user and delay. You can even have it automatically lock
the session once you have logged in, which can be useful.

Since I've switched from gdm to kdm, I think that the applicable directory
has changed... from /etc/gdm to etc/kde3/kdm... so, our choice of files, I
think, are in the /etc/kde3 directory (although I don't see any files that
would affect this feature in this directory... possibly /etc/kde3/kde
directory... possibly files are kdm.options or kdmrc
This depends on the distro. On Debian, the kdm config files are
under /etc/kde3/kdm/. This kind of stuff is in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.

Questions;
1. Which file would do this for me?
a. Where is it located?
b. What do I put into the file?
2. Where is the kdm bin file?
a. I've looked in;
i. bin
ii. /usr/bin
This depends on the distro. On Debian, it is /usr/bin/kdm.
