Root Login In Fedora 11 And Ubuntu

{ August 16, 2009 @ 5:59 am } · { Uncategorized }

Hi friends, Sorry for the delay in the update because i am busy with my first Internal Test in our College…The good news is I have passed all the exams…. Ok Lets come to the topic

In Debian distro’s we can easily login as root by setting login Window

go to System->administration->LoginWindow

and click the option security and mark the check box

“Allow local system administration” then you can easily login as root in Debian Distro’s

In fedora there is no login Window option, However it is possible to login as root

in terminal to root login

$su

$gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm

in the above file put the # at the starting point of the second line(shown below)

#auth       required    pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

and also the same thing to the another file

$gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm.password

The second line change to like that (ie put # infront of the second line)

#auth        required      pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

now you can easily login as root

Cheers….
