SLiM not auto loggin in user

Question

I installed SLiM so that I could auto login my user and have used it before but for some reason on this machine it won't auto login my user.
I have made the adjustments to the /etc/slim.conf for the default_user and change the auto_login to yes.
I've been unable to find a reason why it won't login so am hoping someone might be able to assist me to sort this out.

here is the file:
# Path, X server and arguments (if needed)
# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
default_xserver     /usr/bin/X
xserver_arguments -nolisten tcp vt07
# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend
# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/bin/xauth
# Xauth file for server
authfile           /var/run/slim.auth
# Activate numlock when slim starts. Valid values: on|off
# numlock             on
# Hide the mouse cursor (note: does not work with some WMs).
# Valid values: true|false
# hidecursor          false
# This command is executed after a succesful login.
# you can place the %session and %theme variables
# to handle launching of specific commands in .xinitrc
# depending of chosen session and slim theme
# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
# sessionstart_cmd    some command
# sessionstop_cmd    some command
# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can be overriden by the command line
# options "-d" and "-nodaemon"
# daemon    yes
# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions            xfce4,icewm,wmaker,blackbox
# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      import -window root /slim.png
