Allow KDE root login

A little note if you want to be able to log in as root from the KDE login screen:

To enable login as root in KDE open /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and change the line
AllowRootLogin=false
to
AllowRootLogin=true

There, that's easy enough, right?

  1. You'd think, but not if you don't HAVE a /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc! (/usr/local/share is as far as I could get).

  2. I wonder if you have KDE, then. Maybe you are running GNOME?

  3. Well, find will work, but man it's apt to take a long time!-) 'locate' is a better choice, assuming you've built the database for it (which happens weekly in the normal case).

  4. [code]# find / -name "kdmrc" -print[/code]
    ^ That did the trick. I found mine located here:
    /opt/kde/share/config/kdm
    Running VectorLinux 5.1.1 SOHO (Slackware 10.1)
