Subject: How to use 'net/ssh' to sudo su -

Hi,

i am trying to ssh to a server and execute some commands. To do that, i
need to become a root user and somehow it does not work with below.

ssh = Net::SSH.start("host", "user", :password =>"xxxx")
ssh.exec!('sudo su -')
ssh.exec!('xxxx')
txt = ssh.exec!('ls -al')
puts txt

By executing ls -al as a test, the returns are not based on the root
permission. My guess is the sudo su - does not actually works.

Please advise
