Someone else may beat me with a more intelligent answer... but to paraphrase

Ubuntu always needs any command of significance to be run via sudu, like
sudo reboot
sudo tomcat/bin/startup.sh
sudo mkdir

There is no user who can log in as "root" per se (no matter what you called "him" when you installed it).
That's one of the security gimmicks of Ubuntu.

Does it need sudo if I'm logged in as root? Probably a dumb question, but will be good to know..lol
