Hi,

you should use "sudo sh"
su shouldn't be configured as the root password shouldn't be set.

Re: HEEELPP - SU

All in favour of the next Kubuntu release moving back to the more traditional root password approach for sudo - if only to halve the problems new users have - please raise your hand now...

Re: HEEELPP - SU

I'll never raise my hand to that.

It makes sense to have users be administrators or not administrators with the one safeguard being a password so that they don't accidentally ruin things.

It makes less sense to create a separate "do everything" account you have to log into separately.

Ubuntu and Mac OS X both use sudo, and that's what I love about them.
