I am running FC5 and have replaced GDM with KDM. I went into the KDM
configuration file and set root logins = true but still cannot login as
root from KDM. I rarely use it but I do have an occasion where it would be
nice to login as root. I am assuming its a security setting somewhere
outside of the normal KDE files. Does anybody know where and how to set it
to allow root login under KDM?

You need to edit the kdmrc file in two places, examples below;
[X-*-Core]
AllowNullPasswd=true
AllowRootLogin=true
AllowShutdown=Root
AutoReLogin=false
Reset=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xreset
Resources=/etc/X11/Xresources
Session=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
SessionsDirs=/usr/share/xsessions
Setup=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
Startup=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xstartup
[X-:*-Core]
AllowNullPasswd=true
AllowRootLogin=true
AllowShutdown=All
NoPassEnable=false
NoPassUsers=

Thanks, |
I was certainly unaware there were 2 separate lines in kdmrc that needed to
be edited. Of course in other distro's I only had to edit one line not two
but now I know.
