It's been years since I've logged in as root, since I haven't had to do that. When I did do it, to fix up some problem that I'd created, it was a simple matter to "su - tim" to get a terminal in my user account, to (more safely) do something while I was in the middle of repairing the problem I caused in the first place. For what it's worth, I'd somehow upset the permissions of /tmp, and that prevented logging in as a normal user (it'd immediately log out, straight after attempting to log in). Not that I needed to graphically log in as root to fix that, but I did need to get to a web browser to research the cause, first. And I hate using Lynx, seeing as someone will suggest it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
