Methinks you missed the point of my post entirely. It was not about how to configure a greeter to enable root login. Rather, it was about user customized plain text config files not being properly placed in the monstrous /usr/ quagmire.
I agree with Felix here. Fedora did a much better job with "The Great ETC Repatriation Project". If I ever gave up on openSuse that's where I'd go. I just find Fedora a bit overwhelming. And in the specific, while I did try Patrick's advice:
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_LOCAL="yes"
my problem was that yes I set that but the greeter still wont let me log in as root. in this case Felix is quite correct: the issue *is* in the /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc which needs to have AllowRootLogin=true Why this particular greeter ignores the former and obeys the latter us an interesting point, but if it didn't obey what config file I'd wonder. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
