Logging into Fedora 11 as the root user

Today i tried to log into my system as the 'root' user and GDM will not allow me to log into the system. Looks like that GDM does not allow root user to log into the GUI mode.

To overcome this limitation, you can edit the /etc/pam.d/gdm-password file and comment the line saying:

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet



That's it, restart the GDM and login as 'root' user.
