Yeah, a prompt ending with a hash # symbol usually denotes root's shell prompt.

I don't think this is working for me,

my shell's prompt ends with back-3.2#

am I in root access?

This doesn't work for me

>sudo -s
sudo: must be setuid root

However, I see that /usr/bin/sudo is owned by another user. Is this the problem?
