So what does it take to use su anymore?

I've got a new install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 (installed from 5.1
cds, cvsup'ed to 5.2.1) with XFree86-4.3.0.  When I start X, open
a terminal (tried it so far on aterm, eterm, and xterm) and try
to "su -", I get:

	Password:
	su: Sorry

and my console log says:

	treiglad su: BAD SU ogre to root on /dev/ttyp1

I am certain I am typing the password correctly.

I am in the wheel group:

	treiglad:~> id
	uid=1001(ogre) gid=1001(ogre) groups=1001(ogre), 0(wheel), 5(operator)

What else do I need to do?

Thanks,
Ogre
