Ok, sorry. Thanks. I wish this showed names instead of email addresses
=)

a password, then use 'sudo' *without* one. I fail to see how *that* is
causing you a problem. Just switch from using su to using sudo.

You want to use 'su -s' for that functionality.

Fair enough

asks for root password or use sudo for.
If you want a shell, you can either ssh in as root if you want to use
root's password, or you can use 'sudo -s' to use your password. There's
something weird going on with euid/ruid when using 'su -', so please avoid
it until we can figure out what the issue is. There is a radar open for
it, and Apple engineers are aware of the issue. I can't really comment
beyond that.

and doesn't check it again later.
I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please open a new ticket, or
followup with me offline, so I can understand this particular point
better?
