Disabling direct root login means that somebody has to guess two passwords to enter as root.

I just installed 9.1 with security set to Higher.
When booting to runlevel 3 I can not login as root, always receiving a "login incorrect" message. However, I can login as a regular/normal user and then su to root without problem.
The same happens when booting to runlevel 5. I can login as a normal user and from there su to root. But, If I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 and try to login as root I get the "login incorrect" message.
I have no idea about what is going on. Needing help to sort this out.

I think we've seen this before in the message threads - its entirely due to your security setting AFAIK. In other words, its supposed to do that at higher settings.
Thank you Ronald.
I didn't know it was a security feature.
Saludos,
Adolfo
