In the past when I su, I recall just needing to re-enter my admin password. My password no longer works to su on the LampD instance. Is there a new root password procedure?

sudo and su are two different commands. If you just type 'su' you are asking to switch to the root user, thus you must provide the root user password, which is disabled by default on a JumpBox. If you type sudo, it will ask you for YOUR password. This behavior has never changed on a JumpBox.

Thanks for the clarification... I ran into this issue trying to run
find . -type f | grep '\.(py|pl|rb|cgi)$' | xargs chmod +x
I got permission denied...thought switching to root would resolve.
when I sudo this command, I get
admin@lampd:/$ sudo find . -type f | grep '\.(py|pl|rb|cgi)$' | xargs chmod +x
[sudo] password for admin:
chmod: missing operand after `+x'
Basically, I am installing an app that uses perl and trying to make sure perl is available to the app. I got this from the lampd instructions.
I am inexperienced (obviously), can I get some direction...my perl test page seems to indicate I should do this...
