After installing FreeBSD 2.0 snap 950112 I've got a problem.
When I type <su root> I get an error saying I don't belong to the right group.
Even after changing my GID to 0 (wheel)  by using <chpass> , I still got this 
message.
Can anyone tell me what I do wrong ????
Also I would like to know how to delete users from the system and how to 
belong to more than one group.

Perhaps there is a file with information about this ????????
