AFAIK you are talking KDE login, whilest I am talking login to linux 
through a kde desktop which is telling me
that this operation is not "ALLOWED": never come across this before. 
Also if I sudo in via console and try to
go to /var/messages I am still locked out without any relevant 
privilages, this looks like a windows setup for newbies.
I eventually had Mandriva last night, after enterring login come up with 
just a black screen, no kde at all.
Got frustrated and sent Mandriva to the black hole and reset up with 
openSuse: guess what I got errors on software
install, told it to ignore them, so it the just cancelled the install. 
Has linux been got at by Ric or something????????????
All I want is an easy and no errors install like they used to be.
