	I hope this is a fast question:  I've created a normal user
account for me to use instead of root.  However, I can't su root from
that account; I keep getting an error message saying I am in the wrong
group to su root.  I do not want to add me to wheel group (I am
currently in staff); what should I do then?  

BTW, we are talking about NetBSD 1.1 in a Sun 3/50.
