Last time I tried, I could not su to root because it was a role.
You are mistaken. When root is a role, su is the *only* way to log in
to that account. Of course, your user account must be authorized to
assume that role.
My recollection is that when I tried to do "su" from the created account
it failed with an error that was the same as when I tried to login to
the
root account - i.e. that it was not permitted because root was a role.
You must have tried this from a user account that does not have root
in its list of allowed roles. Try running roles(1) first.
Let me guess, the first account created gets put in the "Primary
Administrator" role and not the "root" role?
(I don't have the respective system handy...)
