|
|
I know how dangerous logging into root is, but I would really like to do so.
In KDM (KDE 3.4), I try and login to root and it tells me something like "Root logins are not allowed." -- how do I enable it? It's a security measure, sure, but I wish to disable it.
Edit:
Ok, I found it. For future reference, here is what I did:
in /usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/kdmrc,
change:
AllowRootLogin=false
to:
AllowRootLogin=true
Simple as that . _________________ My Blog |

Just curious: for what reason do you need to log in as root? |
