Why does this matter? If you're performing several commands with `sudo`, by default it will remember your password for several minutes.
There really is no good reason to log in as root except in exigent circumstances.
If you think you need a root login, you're probably doing something wrong.
(And actually, `sudo -s` is not actually "logging in." It simply starts a shell as user 1 with a sanitized environment.)
