I did have it correct on the machine that I first tried it.  Here's the output of the file:

[students at maddog ~]$ cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=students
#TimedLoginDelay=0

[security]

[xdmcp]

[greeter]

[chooser]

[debug]

[students at maddog ~]$ 

It had TimedLoginDelay=0, and it was causing the problems.  On the other two  machines, I did have the other version:

TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=students

Does it make sense now?

I had the delay=0 and it was causing the trouble :(  
Thanks to all who have helped me get this working.  My students are appreciative as they do not have to type a password to get to use the computers.

Regards,

Antonio
