Rather than typing "su -" followed by root's password, can I set it up so that I just type "sudo" and then I *am* root until I exit? Or, must each and every command be of the form "sudo foo"? I prefer the former, but is it insecure? Can I have an icon in gnome to click to open the root terminal, perhaps open nautilus as root? Thanks, Thufir
