I recently installed freebsd2.1. I am trying to su to root from my user
account. When I type 'su' it says im in the wrong group to su to root. I
checked the man page and it said the user must be in group 0 or 'wheel'
which it is. I even added a new user with the login group of wheel or 0,
still no luck. Also manually edited /etc/groups to have the user in all
the same groups as root, with no luck. Any help appreciated.
