are you root?
Yes, at least supposedly. I'm logging in as root, but I'm not entirely sure if this is "root" or "root-like" access, as it is a VPS and not a dedicated server.
well... I see two ways of knowing so (there are certainly many more I don't know :-):
* do you have a "#" prompt?
* type cd, return and pwd to see is you are in /root :-)

An easier way to determine who you are is to simply type 'whoami'

Note that
whoami

and

who am i


can give differing answers (becuase they answer similar,
but different questions).
