Hi,
Is it possible to log in as root just after booting ? I only get my non-root user as a possible user. On OS13.2 and before there was a possibility to type the username. Now it seems you can only graphically select users, and root is not available (that I know of).
Thanks,
Koenraad. Good grief, what an awful lot of noise over what is no one else's business.
If you are using SDDM as the login manager, edit /etc/sddm.conf to add the following lines:
[Users] HideShells=/usr/sbin/nologin,/bin/false MinimumUid=0 MaximumUid=65000
If any system users show up in the splash screen, you will need to add a "HideUsers=" line to exclude those.
Any other login manager should follow the system rules; if you can su to the root account, you should be able to log in as root to the desktop. You might need to verify that root logins are allowed in Yast/User and Group Management.
To exclude the usual suspects, start with two lines of: HideUsers=at,bin,daemon,ftp,games,lp,man,news,nobody,uucp HideShells=/bin/false,/sbin/nologin,/usr/sbin/nologin - Yamaban -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
