I feel pretty comfortable with using gentoo (now for
almost 3 weeks) but I have still some problems that I
clould not solve so far. The most important is this one:

I'am wondering where to locate the 'switch' to allow
users (at least myself) to use the su command to get
temporary root rights. Also I would like to be able to 
login as root via ssh. This is obviously blocked
somewhere in the configuration files.

Any hint what configuration file(s) I should 
examin (tried already some in /etc/security
but didn't get it done)...

Anybody?
