Theres any way to disable the root pass?
hello,
I'm a linux newbie.
my distro is Suse 10.1 and i want to ask if theres any way to disable the
dialog that asks for the root pass...
i want to make my name act as a root...
for example... I've created an openoffice shortcut on my desktop and theres a
lock icon on it... when im trying to change it's premission to write read and another one (i cant remember), it not allows me... i cant do it because the checkboxes cant be checked...
and another thing.... everytime that im trying to change a setting, it asks for the root password...
theres any way to disable all this root password security?? tnx...

No, you can run graphical programs as root. When you run a program that needs root permissions (like a system utility), it'll prompt you for the root password. You can log on as root, but it isn't a good idea for security reasons (besides, you shouldn't need to enter the root password that much).
