Right Click as Admin

[Wade Smart]

OMGosh!!!!
I have done this over and over and I just noticed that - even though I
had clicked execute - it wasnt taking. Im on my laptop for this now so
I was having trouble with my trackpad mouse. Now that I noticed it
wasnt clicked - it works - without being root.

DUH!!! is all I can say to myself :D
