Terminal doesn't recognize my root password? [Solved]

I did a recent install of Porteus on a friend's M4400 and the correct password is not recongnized when doing sudo in terminal. Thunar root access works properly so I know the password is okay. Any hints as to what is wrong?

There is no sudo with porteus, only su and then the password. :wink:

Doh! The su root gave me root command access. :oops:

We thought about using sudo, but its installation was rather problematic. So you are left with su. :(
