In contrast to what others have just posted, I don't think
adding yourself to the wheel group will help much with this.

If that last is true ("still a newbie"), then why on God's Green
Earth are you running 7.0-CURRENT?
When you run -CURRENT, you're generally expected to be
able to deal with most issues like this yourself, at least in
some limited way....
Did you read /src/UPDATING, for starters?
Please note: I'm not trying to flame you. But I wonder
if you're in over your head. I don't run -CURRENT, myself,
but this is the sort of thing that sounds like you did something
without meaning to....
