In a terminal you can become root via "su". Or you can run individual 
commands with root privileges with "sudo" but you must be in the 
/etc/sudoers file which you must edit with sudoedit.

Now that you've got that question answered please do not ask any more 
basic Unix questions on this list. This list is for the discussion of 
FreeRADIUS use and configuration, it is not the appropriate forum to 
learn Unix and Linux skills, there are other more appropriate places for 
those questions.
