Login as Root ( Solved )

Recommended Posts

I would like to be able to choose root at the login prompt in Mandrake 10.0

I know that it is somewhat unsafe to login as root and that I can achieve the same effect by typing su into a console but please humor me :P

Anyway to do it?

 

Thanks

System>>>>Configuration>>>>>>>>Configure your desktop>>>>>>>System>>>>>>Login manager.

Tick the "show users" box and put a cross in the root box.

 

TIP

If this because you have problems configuring stuff in a consol, then try using KDESU to view and modify files.

Right click on desktop>>>>>Run command>>>>and type:

kdesu
