Find where the file kdmrc is located: $ locate kdmrc Mine is at /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Open it up in a text editor and change any and all lines that read AllowRootLogin=false to AllowRootLogin=true Save the file and restart X. Then you can login as root.

When I tried to login as root, Fedora did not let me login. Also, regarding the Internet connection, I am able to get site like google, but apache.org. Your question is a bit unclear... "but apache.org" isn't a complete thought. If you cannot get to some websites, your network routing tables or DNS configuration may be broken. If that is the case then the "ping" command will have problems with those host names as well... but if "ping" works, then it is more likely a browser configuration problem. Browsing: User permissions on an internet client machine don't normally affect your ability to browse the web... though if you are setting up a website on a hosting service then user permissions may be a problem on that server. Superuser access: I don't use Fedora, but you can usually only log in as root from selected devices and you don't say whether this is remote or local, or in X or via console. Try logging in as a normal user and use "su" or "sudo" to accomplish your administrative tasks. Some distributions (like Ubuntu) have given up on root logins and only allow administration to be performed with sudo. Serving: If you are trying to perform administrative tasks on a computer that is serving web pages to the internet at large, and are having difficulty getting root access when you know the password, it is possible that your box has already been "owned" and it is time to backup and wipe the hd. I ping www.google.com, www.csus.edu and www.apache.org. I there was a connection at www.google.com and www.csus.edu, but with www.apache.org. Also, I used FireFox on my window box and was able to reach apache. Also, both computers use the same connection. Thanks for telling me about not be able to login as root. In Fedora 3.0, it was possible to login as root. Right now, I have a new hard drive and I was planning to re-install fedora 4.0. May be that will solve my problem. Thanks Chris For your root login issue, are you trying to login to Gnome, KDE, or something else?
