Yes, you can tel gdm to run a program to obtain the username.  If you want that the username be the same as the host name, you may do:

/etc/gdm/gdm.conf:


AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=/usr/local/sbin/autologin.sh|
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=/usr/local/sbin/autologin.sh|
TimedLoginDelay=30


/usr/local/sbin/autologin.sh:


#!/bin/bash

HOSTNAME=`echo ${DISPLAY} | cut -f1 -d: | awk -F . {' print $1 '}`

if [ "x$HOSTNAME" != "xlocalhost" ] ; then
  echo $HOSTNAME
fi
