Hi!
	i was able to su into root. now when i do "su root" i get the following
beto@smartnet$ su root
su: you are not in the correct group to su root.
beto@smartnet$
----
su-2.02# pw usershow beto
beto:*:1003:0:root:0:0:Norberto:/home/beto:/usr/local/bin/bash
su-2.02# id beto
uid=1003(beto) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel) 1007(www)
su-2.02# pw usershow marcelo
marcelo:*:1004:0::0:0:Marcelo
Rodriguez:/home/marcelo:/usr/local/bin/bash
su-2.02# id marcelo
uid=1004(marcelo) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel) 1007(www)
su-2.02# 
---
i can su root with user marcelo. but can't with user beto. why this?
 i don't think i changed anything.
TIA!
