Thanks, I had this problem with fedora 10 as well.
But once I got past this fedora is great !
I’m just not a Linux madman its a hell of alot easier for me to setup me SMB and httpd from root, I tried adding myself to wheel group and using sudo from de user account but with no luck… again thanks for your time posting this helpful info..

Hello Kenneth,

Try carefully because most of the people got success.

Hello,

I’ve tried these steps in order to log-on the root user in Fedora 11, without any success. After typing the root password, the message “unable to open session” appears.

I’ve seen similar forums has mentioned the following:

“Do you have gdm running as unconfined_t?”

How do I enable this?
