I have two hopefully quick questions.

1) I've found and understand how the ftp access is controlled by a file, where and\or how can I control who can access the server by Telnet?  I have a user name for apache to run under and would like to restrict its ability to log in from any where other than the console.

2) how do I allow a user to su to root.  I've tried setting group to 0(wheel) and using the log in class root, staff and everything else I can think of in every combination.  when I try it always says

FreeBSD 20: su
something about kerberos (how ever it's spelled) passwd not found and not being in root's ACL
something about not being in the correct group to su to root
FreeBSD 21:

this message is always given to me no matter how I've tried to set group id and login class, I assume that ACL is Access Control List but have no idea where it is or how to set it up.

I've looked numerous times through the man, doc, and FAQ, along with other UNIX documents and up to this point I've come up empty. 

any help you all could give would be greatly appreciated 
thanks in advance,
