Ken, 

Thank You. Just to be sure you underntand what I want: I want to login as root
at the diskless machine, not at the server. I don't know what login manager am
I using. I did the default LTSP install. You mean at the server? I think it is
Kdm as I use KDE. When I try to su at the diskless client it says the password
is wrong:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cpn]$ su
[Password:
su: incorrect password

This is the the /opt/ltsp/etc/passwd:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/false
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:
+::::::

When I comment the line root it says the user root does not exist:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cpn]$ su
su: user root does not exist

How could I know the root password? An empty password does not work.

This is /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/pam.d/gdm:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so
