In order for a user that has already logged in to 'su root' that user must be in group 'wheel'. Edit /etc/group and add your username to the group 'wheel'. Read 'man group' for the correct syntax. >I appreciate your helping me. I am a beginner at UNIX and greatly >appreciate any help you guys can give me.

This is not a tech support line really. Everyone on this list volunteers their time. All kinds of people from all different places are here. Very few of them are FreeBSd core members. We were all beginners once. Except Doug White, he was born precompiled with the 'options UNIX' statement. Don't be to bashful about asking questions. Have fun, Jason Wells
