Hello Martin, Thank you for your reply.
There are certain applications and projects I'm working on that require to be a root on order to run them. Since I'm constantly log in and log out into my KDE session as a root I just got tired with this dorky message.
How about using 'sudo'? This program allows a user listed in /sudoers to performs tasks as root. I always have the following line in my /etc/sudoers on my workstation: mmj ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL That makes it easy. If you need a root shell just go sudo su -. I even have F7 on my keyboard giving me a fresh root xterm.
Would it be too much to ask you how to turn off this "friendly warning" permanently?
No -- not at all. But I have no clue how to do it, and a person should never work as root anyway. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.
