root sudo superuser privileges on thuban2

The only way I know how to get into thuban2 is to be on canopus or mirzam, and from there,

ssh thuban2

To do important stuff, one needs to have root (aka superuser) privileges.

I tried sudo blah blah blah with limited results.

Bruce says I need instead to do

sudo su –  (that’s a blank followed by a minus sign)
