What Jeffrey mean is that you need to add the name of the user in the file
/etc/group, in that file there is a line like this one:
=20
wheel:*:0:root,jose,cacho  <--this one, you only need to add th user you
daemon:*:1:daemon             want to give the speruser privileges.
kmem:*:2:root                 don=B4t forget to use a "," to separate the
sys:*:3:root                  user name ok? :)
tty:*:4:root
operator:*:5:root,bin
mail:*:6:
bin:*:7:       =20
