Hi list!
I was told that I´t wasn´t good to alow root logins (I´m new to Suse). I then used YAST to click ~"don´t alow root logins" thinking I would be able to "su" when I needed to be root. I then found out that "su" doesn´t work so I tried "sudo" instead, but that doesn´t work either.
Is there any way for me to enter my current system as root now/again?
or
Do I have to format the hd and install a new system?
(I have Suse 10.0)

Can you start YaST while logged as regular user? What happens when it asks for root password, and you provide it? If you can start YaST, then go and revert the change you made. Now, about root login - it is not good to allow remote root logins, so you need to change the sshd config file. Also you can change if root can login using the graphical interface (KDE) - this is done in KDE Control Center. But I do not see any benefit of not allowing a console logins. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
