(I've found googling something about sudo -s but that isn't usefull in my case...)
With sudo you can use the "NOPASSWD" tag to prevent asking for a password. Of course you (should) understand the implications of allowing anyone root account access w/o having to know the pass. At least use something with logging capabilities like rootsh instead of su if you're not the only one who will have root account access this way.
I think that there must be any way to do this.... I can remotely access to a my server throught ssh with a ssh public/private key, without password, also I can switch to root by typing "sudo -" (and having the apropiates entries in /etc/sudoers).....
So, I think that something similar must be....let's continue googling.... If I found the way, I'll tell you...

Hi!
I can do this with sudo, but the problem is that this way, isn't run the .bashrc file of root.... and I've some things I need to be run when a root session is opened.
log in as root, then type "visudo". add this line to the section that says "# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges":
user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
where "user" is your real user name. then all commands that you need to run as root can be preceded with "sudo" and it will run with root privileges. you can also do "sudo su" which will give you the root shell without the password.

Great!!!
I had already that line, but I didn't realised of doing "sudo su" instead of "sudo -s".
