And there isn't, how can you use root (or sudo gainroot) and then return to being regular user?
I haven't installed ssh so root access is as simple as "sudo gainroot" for me, and "exit" to go back to user. Getting around the need for root would probably most elegantly be accomplished by making the whole thing an installable package in the repo that can pull in all the dependencies, but i know that's not news to you.
