Hi,
I cant login as a super user or root user in terminal.. why?
i have opened a terminal,
typed login
it asks for password, i typed
then it says login incorrect..
I dont want to use su to login as a root user, if i do so it takes me the same user because my password for root user ans local user are same.
Regards,

Re: cant login from terminal
Perhaps your distro doesn't allow it. You can use the sudo command to temporarily execute commands as the super-user this is usually sufficient.
Re: cant login from terminal

SSH login or local terminal login ?
