Operating Systems Solaris How do you make a superuser? Post 303003489 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 14th of September 2017 10:34:58 AM

For the system login I agree that the desktop does a good effort to enforce an authorization (password, token, fingerprint, ...).
You can do
Code:
sudo bash

to get a root shell. The # in the prompt tells you are root.
The root privilege is limited to this shell, and propagates to everything you start from it. It does not propagate back to you entire desktop.

Solaris is not Linux.
Solaris is a flavor of Unix, and Linux is somewhat compatible with Unix.
