Is there a security risk with enabling autologin when you have disk encryption with LUKS enabled? If anyone gets hold of the PC, they have to enter the password needed for decrypting the disk.

    I'm not familiar with the environment, but depending upon how locked-down the system is and what permissions the auto-logged-in user gets, an attacker could use the session to modify the environment to grab the LUKS password for later collection.
