Hmm... that should read
sudo -s -H
Note the capitalization. -S (capital S) tells sudo to read the
password from stdin; -h (lowercase h) tells sudo to print a help
message. OTOH, -s (lowercase s) tells sudo to run a shell and -H
(uppercase H) to set the home directory environment variable to that
of the user being sudo'd as (in the default case, root).
