9-Becoming Root
- Example:
    - two pretend accounts
        - joe
            - regular user
        - superjoe
            - administrator
    - running as joe
    - su - username
        - switch user
    - su - superjoe
        - become superjoe
        - the password you are prompted for is superjoe's password
            - the password for the user you are trying to become
        - the prompt changes to show that you are running as that user
            - ****************:~ superjoe$
        - WARNING
            - You could destroy your system
- To switch to root
    - two ways
        - sudo bash
            - runs the commands as root in the shell
            - not completely the root user
        - sudo su -
            - switch user into the root user
            - the password is the administrator password, same one you
              would type in for sudo
            - completely becomes the root user
