Hi,

I've got a problem su'ing to root:

	kakapo-~,1:27pm> uname -a
	FreeBSD kakapo.pinnacle.co.nz 2.2.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE #0:
	Fri Dec  5 12:54:57 NZDT 1997
	root@kakapo.pinnacle.co.nz:/usr/src/sys/compile/KAKAPO  i386
	kakapo-~,1:27pm> id
	uid=1000(jonc) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel)
	kakapo-~,1:27pm> su
	su: you are not in the correct group to su root.

So, what group should I be in so that I can su to root?
