 1. "sudo pw root" - lets you set a password for the root account, then
    you can log in as root.

 2. "sudo -s" - gets you a root command line prompt. That's what I use
    when I need to do extended operations as root.

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                            (313) 227-2317
