By default, wTerm logs into a non-root user (wterm). For safe root access follow the procedure below:
- Open the wTerm preferences dialog from the app menu.
- Click on the 'Misc' tab.
- Change the 'Default Exec Command' to 'login -f root'.
- Restart wTerm.
- Run 'passwd' to set a root password.
- Run 'vi /etc/group', add 'wterm' to the root group.
- Change the 'Default Exec Command' back to 'login -f wterm'.
- Restart wTerm.
