Edit the /etc/group file and add your new account like so: wheel:*:0:root,$YOUR_ACCOUNT I would also suggest that you read Dru Lavigne's excellent online tutorials on FreeBSD: FreeBSD Basics: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/15 In addition I would recommend the following books: FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer http://www.bsdmall.com/freebosforyo.html The Complete FreeBSD, by Greg Lehey http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsdcomp4?id=TasN32Ms&mv_pc=119 Of course you should also read the FreeBSD handbook.
