1. OK, then if your standard user account is compromised, the whole machine can be taken over without you even noticing it...

   I won't recommend this except for test purposes.

   1. exactly.....

      just go to root account via sudo 🙂 not hard to do.

2. sudo bash

   works well for me.

   1. If you have several commands to type in in sequence, the best is to use "sudo -s" to launch a shell.

   2. Hmm, I forgot about that.

3. the correct way to do this is NOT using sudoers o giving root a password, but doing:
   sudo -s -H
   (lower s and upper h)
   to open a shell and inherit the correct environment with its variables
   it asks for a single password, then every command can be given without sudo or other passwords

4. Just log in as root - like in the old days 🙂

   1. no, don't do it, it's a security threat giving root a password... use what i said in my previous comment... times go on, update yourself...

      1. For a personal development or embedded system I see no harm.
