But FreeBSD doesn't do this setup yet. I have my system setup that root is disabled and sudo only works with that. This way you can limit users to certain cmds such as user Lisa can shutdown but user bob can't, su well any user in wheel can shutdown etc.. You are of course entitled to do as you wish with your box and it's a pita how programs force this but it's for your own good.
