Login as a root from GUI for Fedora 10

Hi Friends,

In Fedora 10 You cannot login from gui as a root.By Default only users

are allowed to login from gui mode.

If You want to login as a root from gui in fedora 10 then you have to

edit something like this

Go to pam.d directory

cd /etc/pam.d/

then first take a backup of gdm file

cp gdm gdm.bak ( always take backup if anything goes wrong you can

correct it by original file)

after taking backup

open gdm file in your favorite editor from /etc/pam.d/ folder

vim gdm

then you will find one line like this

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

remove != root (this part from line)

After Edit line will look like this

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user quiet (Remember Spaces

are also important)

After edit save file logout and try to login as a root from gui ( if

anything wrong then overwrite your original file from single user

mode )

Now you are able to login as a root from gui.

Friends if i am wrong then sorry for that if any correction in this

then please let me know.
