I have installed FC10 five times now but I can NEVER log in as root as it ALWAYS tells me that the authentication failed. I did the install very, very carefully as I thought that, maybe, I had goofed; but, no, I set up root password OK but still cannot do the login as root. The only way I can get to root operations is via sudo but, then, I can't get a gui running (I'm a bit lazy!!). Any ideas as to why I can't log in as root?

Open a terminal edit the file /etc/pam.d/gdm Comment out the fourth line so it reads: #auth required pam_suceed_if.so user != root quiet
