enabling the root account in karmic, does anyone know how?

[Arky (Rakesh Ambati)]

Hi Mike,


Have a look at GDM configuration file provided in this post.

Also root accounts need to have id = 0 and in /etc/sudoers file you add a line like this. Replace accnt with the account name. 

accnt	ALL=(ALL) ALL


Cheers
