Re: [orca-list] Using Orca with root permissions

["ashley" <ash cox talktalk net>]

enable the root account in booth systems:

type in terminal: sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

go down to where it says allowroot=false, change the false to true.

then press ctrl+X then Y then enter to save and exit.

then set root password:

type in terminal sudo passwd root.

press enter

then type your password and press enter. Then type the same password again 
and press enter.

then reboot your machine, and login with the username root and the password 
you set. Start orca in the normal way and access all the admin apps from 
this account.

hope this helps.

ashley
