This doesn't seem very user friendly to me. Windoz lets you login as Administrator. And all of the Alt Ctrl keys aren't very friendly either. Seems like there should be a help button to tell you what they are. I would think that root should be allowed to login and run only the things that a normal user can and has to enter the root password. If we really don't want root to login, then I think that root should be listed as a user with the red circle with the line through it, so people will know, no root login. Or just say that, or if you enter the root username, pop up a box that says no root login, use Alt whatever to login as root. But be a little more friendly about it. Don't just slam the door and leave people wondering, did I fat finger the root password? What should decide if they can run something as root? If go to the command line and su to root and run firefox should it come back and tell me I am root and can't run it? > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-test-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Antonio M > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 1:12 PM > To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases > Subject: Login as root is impossible > > After latest updates from gdm there is no way to log as root!!!!! > I am pretty sure as I can su or start any application requiring root > privilege....so....what is going on?? shall I file a bug??? > > > -- > Antonio Montagnani > Skype : antoniomontag > > -- > fedora-test-list mailing list > fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
