If you’ve ever used linux, then you probably really missed two things when you started using Mac OSX, the apt-get command (automatically retrieves software) and the sudo nautilus command (opens file browser ,what finder is, as root. Well, it may not be as clean looking as linux, but you cam run a session of Finder as root by opening terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and typing:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
and hit ENTER (or return if you run PPC)
This IS CASE-SENSITIVE, one capitalization off, and it will not work, I’d recommend you copy and paste.
