Right now, I can login as a user then su to root, and password.  I just
can't login as root directly.  I use Dolphin and the fish thingy to
access config files etc so I can use Kwrite to edit files etc.  Thing
is, I have to login as root for some files.  No way to su to root with
Dolphin, that I know of anyway. 

I'm pretty sure I set this up on the old NAS box.  My searches shows the
PermitRootLogin set to yes should do it but I guess I missed something. 

Any ideas?  I did search old threads but only found the option above,
mentioned by Neil I think.
