Bug Description

Mint 13 XFCE (I am aware it also effects MATE version)

When setting up multiple users to click-to-login by checking "Do not ask for password at login", MDM is ignoring it and demanding a password to be entered at login.

Having compared GDM to MDM in /etc/pam.d/mdm, the line...

auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin

...appears to be missing from MDM. This fix has made click-to-login possible for me on MDM.

It may not be the only aspect requiring fixing but if this bug could be fixed it would help to give Linux Mint a wider appeal to non-experts.
