I've actually found that after installing and configuring sshd as a service, "ssh localhost" gives me an elevated shell without any hassle (I'm part of the local admins group; you may have to modify to "ssh admin@localhost"). If you want to use this as a replacement for 'sudo' without having ssh open to the network, modify your sshd configuration to only accept localhost connections and as an added layer, make sure your firewall denies all incoming network traffic to sshd -- Erik -- "I do not think any of us are truly sane, Caleb.
