Hello,
Has anyone been able to AutoLogin as root on a redhat 9 using KDE or GNOME?
I have been able to auto login as any other user, but not able to do it for
root. I understand its risky and not recommended, all the same i need to set
up my server to autologin with root access. Anyone know how to get this
done?
Any help will be appriciated,
Sincerely,
Rohan

Never ever login as root in X (KDE, Gnome)! There is never any need for
that. And especially to request a root autologin is the worst I could
imagine.
