Linux is now becoming one of the major Operating Systems in the world because of its high security reasons which other Operating Systems can not provide. Even national and international banks are also prefer to use Linux. Also many network researchers prefer to do their research on Linux platform.If you are using Fedora and if you have updated Fedora version to Fedora 10, you can not directly login as root. It is because to enhance the security in Fedora, by default root login is disabled. But we can login as root through normal user.
If you want to login as root user, do the following:
- First login as a normal user and open Terminal.
- Type su- and press enter and it will ask for a root password.
- After entering the root password type gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm and press enter.
- Find the line auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet and replace it with auth required pam_succeed_if.so
- Save it and close.
- Logout from normal user and this time we can login as root.
