Enable GUI login manager on Fedora 10

Hello dear friend,s

Q. How to enable root login under Fedora 10 Gnome GUI login screen / manager?

A. Fedora 10 uses pam module called pam_succeed_if.so. This module is designed to succeed or fail authentication based on characteristics of the account belonging to the user being authenticated. One use is to select whether to load other modules based on this test. This module blocks root login using GUI.

# firstly login with normal user

# then open GUI (bash terminal) and type the following command to become root user: ie

~]$ su -

password ****** --------------> this is root password which is given by us during installation.

# now open the file /etc/pam.d/gdm and Find line that read as follows: like

# auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

# Remove or comment out line by prefixing #.

# for example ----> ~]# vim /etc/pam.d/gdm
