After doing a dselect upgrade with apt, I cannot login to root account from the menu when the computer boots up. When I try it tells me Not allowed to log into root account. How do I enable this again?

Do you mean to KDE? You shouldn't login to KDE as root. Use a VT, su and kdesu to do root stuff.
If you really want to change in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc AllowRootLogin=false to true.

Yes yes KDE. I've always had it set up like that. That is the way I like it. If it is passworded then there should be no problem. I'll give that a try.

That's what I want back. Thank you Markus for the help. /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc AllowRootLogin=false to true is What corrected my problem.
