/etc/gdm/gdm.conf and/or /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf If you change there this AllowRoot=false to AllowRoot=true then you should be able to login as root, IINM. >From the "Gnome Display Manager Reference Manual" (Gnome Help Browser): "The Configuration File - gdm.conf" Excerpt: ------------------------- AllowRoot AllowRoot=true Allow root (privileged user) to log in through GDM. Set this to false if you want to disallow such logins. On systems that support PAM, this parameter is not as useful as you can use PAM to do the same thing, and in fact do even more. However it is still followed, so you should probably leave it true for PAM systems. --------------------- HTH Best Regards Wolfgang > > Toshiro. -- Profile, Links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
