At times I find I need to login as root.
For example, as a regular user su to root, then start gedit from that
terminal session. Look at all the errors generated. And at least in
FC10, I could still change preferences, but in FC11, they all come up
grey. There are other things in gnome that don't launch right from an
SUed terminal session. So when I want to 'fix' things, I find it better
to just log in as root.
So in FC10, I learned to edit (with VI cause at least THAT works in the
SU terminal session) /etc/pam.d/gdm and trim off the end of the 2nd line
that has pam_succeed_if.so
Well I did that, and logged out as me and could not log in as root. So
I rebooted (perhaps needed to restart some service) and still could not
log in as root.
So what is the magic incantation this time around? And why is it
getting harder to enable this?
Sigh.
