====== root login with bash ======

On our systems, the ''root'' account is set to be a role, so you can't login as root, just ''su'' to ''root'' from an user which has the ''root'' role.
Also, the ''root'' user has the bourne shell (''/bin/sh''), but working with ''/bin/bash'' is much easier.
Using this command, you can directly log in as ''root'' with a ''bash'' shell.

  ssh demo.lab.example.com -t "su - root -c /bin/bash"'

I set it up as an alias in ''.bashrc'':

  alias demo_root='ssh demo.lab.example.com -t "su - root -c /bin/bash"'

This enables me logging in with just:

  $ demo_root
  Password:
  # 

The ''Password'' prompt on the second line is from the ''su'', for the ''root'' password.
