still same

all i want setup say to me

"You are not allowed to access the system configuration."

how can i get access
 
What setup? What are you trying to do?

If it's the settings in Gnome, you'll need to start X using GDM. GDM will make sure ConsoleKit/PolicyKit is working properly.

If you have installed the full gnome add to /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
gnome_enable="YES"
And restart.. Log in as a normal user..

You are not allowed to access the system configuration.

Running a session as a privileged user should be avoided for security reasons. If possible, you should log in as a normal user.


this is root account starting saying to me i want full access everywhere in my system

how can i get full access ??
 
Don't run as root all the time!

Log in as a normal user and use su or sudo to become root when you need it.
 
As others have said, create a normal user account at the command-line using # adduser. When it asks about additional groups, type wheel (that will allow you to use the su - command). Then edit /etc/rc.conf to enable gnome. Then reboot the system.

It should come up to a nice graphical login screen. Login using the username and password of the account you just created (*not root*).

You are now logged in as a normal user, with a full GNOME desktop. You now have access to everything. When GNOME needs root privileges, you will get a prompt from gksu asking for root's password. That's the only time you should need to worry about root.

If you need to do something as root at a command-line, or in a gnome-terminal, then type su - to login temporarily as root. You will be prompted for root's password. When you are finished doing whatever it is that you need to be root for, then logout, and you will be back to your normal user account.
