Logging in as root in Mandrake
 

how do i log in as root in Mandrake 9.1?

when i log out, i only have the option to login as my normal user (in a menu)

If you're using something like kdm just type in `root` as the username and your root's password and you should be in. If you're at the console, type `su` then type root's password.

the su command is only for terminal or konsole as far as i know, but i want to use a graphical interface for root like i can with redhat, is this possible?

Hi SM

KDE CONTROL CENTRE
SYSTEM
LOGIN MANAGER
ADMINISTRATOR BUTTON - TYPE ROOT PASSWORD
USERS TAB
UNCHECK HIDDEN USERS CROSS NEXT TO "ROOT USER"
CLICK APPLY

k, thx, got it to work :)
