[Cc: me, please] I have yp users I need to place in wheel so they can perform administrative tasks. I have these users in a wheel group in my NIS group maps and I have the '+:*::' line at the end of my /etc/group file on the client machines. These users are shown by id(1) to be members of wheel(0) but they are refused su to root on the grounds they are not in the correct group to su. It's unclear to me wherein the conflict lies if id gets the right group information. I've even tried putting '+wheel:*::' in my /etc/group client files, to no avail. Suggestions? Brandon D.
