Answering my own question...
Since I wasn't getting anywhere with 'su' - I thought to try:
sudo su
And it worked! Just used my 'admin' password (don't have root
enabled) and I was in like Flynn. Whoever that was.
Thanks for the assistance. I've been using Unix (mostly perl) for a
several years, but always on a remote server and so without a lot of
access to the innards. I've got a lot to learn with OS X for that
reason. But running perl, PHP and MySQL right on my own machine is
changing the way I write websites and databases - in a good way. No
telnet, no Fetch...
