I just installed fedora core 12 and install excepts a password for root but when trying to login it gives an 'authentication failure"
Have tried booting up using 'rescue installed system' going to shell: shell-4.0# run passwd, and change password, then reboot but cannot login as root have no trouble loggin as user.
auy sugestions Lewis Jessup (have been using linus for awhile but I'm still a newbe)
you can't login as root by default, if use GUI.
I always set up /etc/sudoers to allow user many but not all root privileges Using root is dangerous.
su enter root password vim /etc/sudoers go to the line which says ## Allow root to run any commands anywhere root ALL=(ALL) ALL under that enter your username <tab> All=(ALL) <tab> ALL where <tab> is the tab key. esc wq! to save and quit
When you need root access from a terminal type sudo <some command> and it will ask for your user password. type exit or close the terminal to exit sudo.
There are probably better ways but this works for me. Roger
