What should I type on the Mac OS X terminal to run a script as root?

As in any unix-based environment, you can use the sudo command:
$ sudo script-name
It will ask for your password (your own, not a separate root password).
In order for sudo to work the way everyone suggest, you need to be in the admin group.
sudo ./scriptname
sudo bash will basically switch you over to running a shell as root, although it's probably best to stay as su as little as possible.
