What I"m about to tell you may destroy all of Linux or it may provide just the convenience you need: # sed -i 's/user != root//' /etc/pam.d/kdm # sed -i 's/AllowRootLogin=false/AllowRootLogin=true/'\ /var/lib/mageia/kde4-profiles/Default/share/config/kdm/kdmrc # service dm restart I'm not an official representative of Mageia so if this information leads to the end of humanity, mageia.org cannot be held responsible. :o) BTW: I've done some silly things by mis-typing in a terminal as root or forgetting that I *am* root in an xterm window on my regular user's desktop. When logged into a bright red IceWM session, I tend to be more careful. Once a new system is set up, I rarely use it though.
