State-Changed-By: simon
State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 9 09:02:05 PST 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
To su from a user account to root, the user has to be in the wheel
group.  See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-groups.html
for adding a user to a group.
                                
Questions like this should rather be directed to the
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailinglist, which is made for this kind
of questions.
