Package: sddm Version: 0.14.0-4 Severity: serious Tags: security Justification: Policy 2.5Dear Maintainer, apt-get dist-upgrade from jessie to stretch, followed by synaptic package manager installation of sddm-theme-elarun provided a splash screen with a blank block for user. Providing "root" as the user, with appropriate password did not result in a login. Double check of /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc found AllowRootLogin=true Inability to log in as root qualifies as "important" in accordance with the Debian policy manual section 2.5.
Debian-provided sddm PAM configuration explicitly disallows root graphical login, and I believe that is a sane configuration. Marking this bug with wontfix and closing it. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
