So my only real goal is to log in as root in secure shell to allow me to run those modifications.

That's not "tunneling." Tunneling is sending other stuff through the ssh connection.

No. You can create a new user ("adduser imausername") and then set them in the sudoers file (simple version: log in as root, run "visudo" then add your user below root with the same options). Then you can disable root and run commands using sudo.
Anyway, remember, google is your friend, and the same goes for man pages. This stuff is largely the same on your macs, too.
