Well, there are a few things that I haven't learned yet other than through a GUI. I have been su'ing to do certain things, but Bastille has disabled su'ing in a gui. I can only do it command-line. I just want to understand what happened and I would like to be able to.

If you want to do rootly things, you should go to a command line and use "su" or "sudo". "man su" or "man sudo" at the command line for more information. That said, i'm sure there are ways in kde to do root things in the control panel or whatever without actually logging in as root. doesn't it prompt you for a password? I don't run KDE so I don't know, but you shouldn't ever need to log in as root. dan > It is not clear to > me what part of the Bastille process did this.
