Thanks Dale,
Worked!! Thanks!!
I noticed it made me the root user.
What is the difference between sudo -i and sudo su?
In my research it appears that both change to user to root along with
changing the UID. I've been using sudo -i to solver this issue for
years while not fully understanding it.
I assume sudo elevates the user's permissions however they stay that
user and their UID does not change??

sudo only runs commands found in $PATH.
cd is a built-in shell command, therefore sudo can't find it.
The fix is to do su or "sudo su" to get a root shell, and then in the
root shell do a cd to the restricted directory.

Hi,
Not sure what is going on here:
cd <path> results in message "-bash: cd: <path> : Permission
denied".
Then I add sudo : sudo cd <path> results in message : "sudo: cd:
command not found".
Any help is much appreciated!!
