su prompted me for a password. At no time during the set up of this Mac was I ever asked to enter a root password - I had hoped it simply hadn't been set, and typing 'su' would just log me in as root. Is there a default password that all Macs come with that I can use? Alternately, is there some way of setting the root password at this point?
For sudo, once I get past being able to log in as root, I will need to find the Mac OS X equivalent of what in Linux would be /etc/sudoers. Where does this live on the Mac?
Thanks!

In Terminal, you enter root mode with the sudo command; in particular, if you’ve got a lot to do as root, it’s easiest to open a root shell with sudo -s. You then stay in root mode until you type. Downloaded the iso image and proceeded to make a Mac OS X bootable USB on windows. To create a bootable media to install Mac OS X leopard on my old macbook A1181. I used imageusb and installed. I was very happy to find this 10.5.4 version which worked perfectly. Many thanks to all. Besides, it also allows access to the login screen of a locked Mac. Update: Apple has released Security Update 2017-001 to fix the bug that enables access to the root superuser account with a blank password on any Mac running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1. Apple is already aware of this bug and has issued a temporary solution to the problem. Yosemite, aka version 10.10, is the latest stable release of the Mac operating system, so a lot of people are affected by this vulnerability. The security bug can be exploited by a logged-in attacker, or malware on the computer, to gain total unauthorized control of the Mac. The vulnerability is documented here by iOS and OS X guru Stefan Esser.
