[QUOTE="thermidor, post: 110160, member: 9741"] I was phrasing on the basis that sudo runs another process as superuser, but su drops the shell into superuser login... hence my usage of su, if that makes sense. What I'm literally trying to do is type su into a shell. But I presume the answer to my question is independent of whether I su or sudo! Problem: cat /etc/sudoers gives Permission Denied - Catch 22!
