[Bug 368061] Re: auto-login won't work

[Martin]

That's right, there should definitely be something to prevent you from
enabling auto-login if home is encrypted. The way things are now, it's
outright dangerous, for noobs especially. If you check the field, you
end up with an unusable setup, unless you find out somehow

As to whether or not this is a bug, when I initially reported this, I
assumed that I had only LVM encryption, not an encrypted home dir. In a
setup like that, it wouldn't compromise security to have autologin  -
because you can't even boot without knowing the passphrase. But since it
turned out that I had unwittingly encrypted my home dir in ADDITION to
the LVM encryption, I can't tell whether the bug actually exists in the
form that I described in the original report. We'd need somebody with an
LVM encrypted system without additional home dir encryption to test
this.

I don't know which package we should file this for unfortunately.
