   First time you run it, it will ask you to create a user.
   That user will be added to the "wheel" group and can su
   to root and can also run shutdown without a password.

   If you use the "suspend" feature of VMware, your time may
   get out of sync.   To fix it, you can run 
       sudo ntpdate 140.160.140.1

   The command "sudo bash" runs bash as the Super User which
   allows you to do anything you want ...
