Right now, I can login as a user then su to root, and password. I just can't login as root directly. I use Dolphin and the fish thingy to access config files etc so I can use Kwrite to edit files etc. Thing is, I have to login as root for some files. No way to su to root with Dolphin, that I know of anyway. I'm pretty sure I set this up on the old NAS box. My searches shows the PermitRootLogin set to yes should do it but I guess I missed something. Any ideas? I did search old threads but only found the option above, mentioned by Neil I think. Dale :-) :-)
