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??
