There is on gotcha in using su and entering password. you will still be in
same dir you were in before. Simple solution is to type 'su - root',
then enter password. Best to cd to the etc where the file you want to
edit is, then use (in my case) pico (filename) and follow the prompts at
bottem of editor.
