Thank you, all.



I finally decided, once I had ssh access from a desktop machine, that just manually editing the /etc/sudoers file was the way to go, so that's what I did.


I finally figured out that it was very likely that that was all "becomeroot" did. Thank you for confirming, BanditRider.

This little machine is so great.

Thank you all, again, for your generous assistance.
