Re: Root logon denied at console.
This is the error in /var/log/messages
Sep 22 08:38:48 alexandria gdm[4379]: Root login disallowed on display ':0'Sep 22 08:40:04 alexandria gdm[4379]: Root login disallowed on display ':0'
Sep 22 08:45:34 alexandria gdm[4379]: Root login disallowed on display ':0'
All entries in the /etc/secrity/access.conf file have been changes to allow root logon. I did not reboot or anything though. Root still cannot log in from the console. Should I attach a copy of the securetty file and access.conf file? Maybe I am missing something.

Re: Root logon denied at console.
Edit the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file and set:
AllowRoot=true
I'm not sure if gdm.conf is on that path on RH 3.0, but the file name gdm.conf must exists somewhere in /etc.
find /etc -name gdm.conf

Re: Root logon denied at console.
There was a gdm directory in /etc so I went in and there was a custom.conf file I modified the frile from Allowroot=false to Allowroot=true. And I still cannot log in as root from the console. Sorry to keep bugging your guys, but I can't figure this out.
