Greetings from a newbie. Whenever I login as root, YaST automatically runs. When I quit YaST, it automatically logs out as root. It used to not do this, but started about a month ago. I'm running Suse Personal 9.1 with KDE. On the advice of Suse Tech support, I've tried: editing /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to make sure that 'AllowRootLogin=true' I've made sure that DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager Anyone have any ideas? -------------------------------------- Protect yourself from spam, use http://sneakemail.com

I'm no longer running 9.1, so I can't give exact details. However, Linux allows you to resume previously running tasks. In SuSE 9.2 (KDE), this is controlled by the Control Center. On the Session Manager page, there's an option to start with an empty sessionl Make sure that's enabled.

If I remember correctly I had this problem too for a while and I just assumed that this was a security thing with Suse not allowing me to log in as root and work like a regular user but when playing with the login menu I noticed this-> Menu->Session Type->admin (this was selected) I changed it to "default" and I was able to log in again as regular root user. but from my few months of experience I realized that allowing me to log in to YaST only as root was a good thing and using "su" and "kdesu" to perform administrative tasks. Let me know if this works. If it doesn't then I will recheck what I had done (but I currently do not have access to that machine) Ganesh

How about you log in as root and click on something other than "Admin" in the little drop down menu that asks what type of session you want?
