    Thank you for the sudo answer, that part of my problem solved.

    My other question is how can I su - root (become root) without being asked
    for the root password. I have tried to put my self in the SYSTEM, SYSADMIN,
    ADM groups but each I'm asked for a password when I su - root.
    Is this possible in Tru Unix ( just like in Linux if you are in the wheel
    group and edit /etc/pam.d/su file )??

    Thank you for all the help
    Best Regards
