Thanks for that Robert - I guess I'll trash it then and go to something I
can use.
Presumably it's like most standard Debian/Ubuntu systems where there
is no root login but you use sudo to gain root privileges.
I don't like the repeated 'sudo this', 'sudo that' style of doing
things so I simply do 'sudo -s' and get a root prompt which works as
root for as long as needed.
Or do 'sudo bash'
Now that you are at the root shell prompt #, type 'passwd' and set a
passord for the root account :)
Now you can at any time do an 'su - root' (yes, the hyphen *IS*
necessary for FULL root privs) and get a root shell :)
Enjoy!
