sudo and root

[krowten]

On my Mac (10.6.2), I always would do this to access root if I had to:

sudo su -

or just

sudo su

Well, I had to enable the actual root account briefly and then I disabled it. Now, I can't do sudo su or sudo su -, I just get a Sorry message. If I renable root, I can do it. What's also interesting is that both sudo -i and sudo -s work just fine with root disabled.

So my question is, why can I no longer do "sudo su -" with root disabled?

Thanks.

Matt

This is just a starting point though, it sounds like you need to edit the sudoers file but there are some caveats when doing so.
