You have to be in the group `wheel' to be able to su to root. It doesn't have to be your primary group ID; adding your name to the `wheel' line in /etc/group is enough. Look at the appropriate manual page for the format of /etc/group; it is probably group(4). (It may be necessary that you log in again or invoke `newgrp wheel'.) -- Juergen Nickelsen
