Install Xterm... Install openssh (as apposed to dropbear) from garage. open Xterm and do ssh root at localhost use rootme as the password. Add this line to /etc/sudoers user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Now give bother the user named user and root real passwords. Once you do this user, user can sudo su to root whenever you need it to. I also recommend removing the ability of root to ssh directly after you have confirmed that you can sudo. James -- READ CAREFULLY.
