suddenly I have a padlock icon on my /root directory. The contents of the directory are as follows:

I've looked in the MCC/security (I'm on Mandrake 10.0, running the KDE desktop environment) and find the permissions on the locked /root are 700 and I can't change them; my security level is (was) set at 2 with all defaults.

Help?

You are looking as root, aren't you?
Yes I am. Can't get into the MCC other than as root.
Julie
But are you looking at the /root directory as root?
if you are logged in as a normal user, you have to become root in order to use the root directory.
Do "kdesu konqueror" (without the quotes) from a command line, give root's password, and you should get access.
