I thought the pointer to gdmsetup might have been the ticket. I

In my 9.3 system, the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager contains the
following section:

## Type: string
## Default:
#
# Define the user whom should get logged in without request
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN=""

I'm pretty sure this setting is available through YaST's /etc/sysconfig
editor.

What the OP wants is both autologin and passworless login. Could I
trouble you to check and see if gdmsetup has that as an option?
