Root logins on minimal RedHat

[columb]

I'm building some servers with the minimum required to run my particular application. As it requires a graphic internet browser and development tools I've chosen no packages except
[ul]
[li]X Windows - Firstboot[/li]
[li]Graphical Internet - Firefox[/li]
[li]Development tools - default selection[/li]
[/ul]
However, this build, unlike the standard build, does not allow root logins from the console. How do I enable this?

Thanks

Which "RedHat" version?
Which console prevents root login? Terminal screen, text login at keyboard, GUI login at keyboard, ssh command line??

To get logged in so you can edit that file, do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a text virtual terminal. That will let you in. Then go edit the KDE config file (kdmrc) mentioned in the link above.

Probably would have a KDE terminal application on the desktop into which you can issue "su -" to become root in the terminal session.. Another side of the same coin.
