You weren't reading carefully, I'm afraid.

As is normal on all the unix systems I've worked on, the machines on 
which I need to edit files cannot be connected to as root.

However, often, the files I need to edit can only be edited by root.

So, I'm looking for a way to log in as one user and then sudo to root to 
edit those files.
