Would someone please explain to me how you get to be root.  I have tried
su, su -, sudo, sudo -l, and I am still not allowed to use the
./start_net command and not be told that I do not have root privileges.
When I try to go to root I am asked for my password and soon get the
message. sorry authentification failed or an error similar to that.  I
am trying to run a wireless connection.
