[kwlug-disc] Johnny Cash: A boy name SU

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I use screen to open many shells, and in one "window", I do:

$ su -

Then enter the password

I am in a root shell in that "window" forever.

Or, if it is a machine that you are not logged into all the time, just do:

$ sudo bash
Then enter the password
