Hi, From 2 days i can't login with root on Suse 9. The password is right, but it say to me that the root can't use for login. So i can only login with a user and then use SU or insert the password when i use the visual tool administrator. How can change this setting? How can enable the root login?
Thank you.
That's the correct behaviour - rather than logging in as root, you'd be better off doing as you've just suggested and use su or sudo. If you log in as root, then programmes you spawn all run with root privileges. This is a bad thing. You really can do everything you need to do quite easily while logged in as a user.
