This is better than before but I would much rather do something like
imports = [
(import ./common/auto-login.nix { user = "alice"; })
];at each individual modules.
But it would not be idiomatic and I am not sure if it would not affect the performance negatively.

This whole thing could really turn into a common testing lib which I think we actually might need.
But I don't think I really want to improve this more just yet, I'd like to see this in 20.03.

This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing so I believe this is where it belongs.

Motivation for this change
This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
cc @hedning @jtojnar as we discussed this #53843
Things done
I need to check the tests in NixOS still work properly that might rely on auto being enabled but don't have the correct imports or something.
