Re: open() BSD call fails on Mac OS Tiger??



Use "sudo" to preface each command on the command line that requires super
user privileges to execute.

Administrator accounts are not root accounts and do not have superuser
privileges by default. Instead, an administrator account is allowed to
acquire superuser privileges on a per-command basis by issuing the sudo
command and, if necessary, by providing a password.
