try "sudo su"

Thanks, that worked. But someone on another forum told me this command is ridiculous!
Oh well... whatever gets the job done IMO.

If you really want to work as root in the terminal the more correct way would be executing

Code:

sudo -i

as this reads in the Shell profiles from the root user.
