HOWTO to enable local root login For some reason this has been disabled, or better impossible to do.

You need to edit in /etc/sysconfig......the file "displaymanager" Code:___________________________________________________________________________ ________ ## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config ## Type: string(kdm,kdm3,kdm4,xdm,gdm,wdm,entrance,console) ## Default: "" # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console ). # all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager # DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Allow remote access (XDMCP) to your display manager (xdm/kdm/gdm). Please note # that a modified kdm or xdm configuration, e.g. by KDE control center # will not be changed. For gdm, values will be updated after change. # XDMCP service should run only on trusted networks and you have to disable # firewall for interfaces, where you want to provide this service. # DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Allow remote access of the user root to your display manager. Note # that root can never login if DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN is "auto" and # System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY is "paranoid" # DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_LOCAL="yes" ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # Let the displaymanager start a local Xserver. DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # Let the displaymanager start a local Xserver. # Set to "no" for remote-access only. # Set to "no" on architectures without any Xserver (e.g. s390/s390x). # DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" ## Type: ## Default: yesno no

# # TCP port 6000 of Xserver. When set to "no" (default) Xserver is # started with "-nolisten tcp". Only set this to "yes" if you really # need to. Remote X service should run only on trusted networks and # you have to disable firewall for interfaces, where you want to # provide this service. Use ssh X11 port forwarding whenever possible. # DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no" ## Type: string ## Default: # # Define the user whom should get logged in without request.

Valid # values are: "root" (only root can shutdown), "all" (everybody can shutdown), # "none" (nobody can shutdown from displaymanager), "auto" (follow # System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY to decide: "easy local" is # equal to "all", everything else is equal to "root"). gdm respects the # PolicyKit settings for ConsoleKit. Shutdown configuration can be done via # the polkit-default-privs mechanism. # DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="auto" ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # Mode to configure on output devices by default # (RANDR 1.2 compatible drivers only). # # If set to "auto", DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto is used on laptops, and # the empty string on workstations. # # The output is not explicitly enabled (read: disabled) if set to an empty # string. # If the variable contains a fully configured modeline (see default of # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto), the mode is defined and set. # If the variable contains a mode name only, the mode has to be defined # already.

# # If a monitor is attached during Xstartup, or when invoking "xrandr --auto" # during runtime, the output is correctly configured and a mode is # automatically selected if none has been used so far. # # Variables are checked according to their extension for # VGA DVI_I DVI_D DVI_A Composite S_Video Component LFP Proprietary # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_I="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_D="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_A="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Compsite="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_S_Video="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Component="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_LFP="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Proprietary="" ## Type: string ## Default: "1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +V sync" # # Mode to use for laptops for DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_* on laptops only, # when the according variable is set to "auto". # (RANDR 1.2 compatible drivers only). # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 77 2 795 -HSync +Vsync" ## Type: string(Xorg) ## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Default: "Xorg" # DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg" ## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config ## Config: kdm3 ## Type: string ## Default: # # space separated list of users for which icons should be shown in KDM # if empty, then take system defaults # KDM_USERS="" ## Type: string ## Default: # # Special greeting words in kdm # KDM_GREETSTRING="" ## Type: string ## Default: # # Defines extra Server Arguments given to the kdm display manager when # starting a local display.
