Interactive Mode SUDO

| Comments

So, I made a new category basically for posts that I want to keep for myself and also post for other people not to have as hard a time finding: Archiving.

In Ubuntu I have always set a password for root and “su -” up to root to run things that needed root access. Well after watching IronGeek’s latest video on Labrea (click here to watch the video). I gleaned a new way to get to a root prompt without having to set a password and su up each time. He called it SUDO Interactive mode. And al you do is:

sudo -i

That’s it, and you are good. Just thought I would share.
