Definitely tim'ss way of doing it makes sense though I haven't looked
at the dvd for the "set master password". In my case, when I set up
fink I was given the chance to set up a password which I did for sudo
but that didn't work using su. I finally figured out I could do
sudo passwd root
enter my passwd for sudo and do a root passwd which works for su.
what's kind of strange about it is that now I have two different
passwords: one for su and one for sudo.
