Description Martin Schmidkunz 2008-11-13 15:29:33 UTC 
After installing openSUSE 11.1 I can't log in as root.
What is the meaning behind this?

This happens when I try local and NIS as user authentication type.

I attached y2 log.
Do you need any additional logs?
Comment 1 Martin Schmidkunz 2008-11-13 15:38:28 UTC 
Sorry, can't provide y2 log because I am unable to access /var/log/YaST2 :-(
Comment 2 Lubos Lunak 2008-11-13 16:06:15 UTC 
Why are you reporting this for KDE when talking about y2logs? Can you login from text mode?
Comment 3 Mario Guzman 2008-11-14 18:56:58 UTC 
Same problem here. Used beta 5 32bit DVD after install tried to login as root and it said cannot login as root.

Root logins are not allowed
