You should add the accounts that are allowed to become root to the wheel 
group. Either edit /etc/groups and add the user to the wheel group (top line 
will be: "wheel:*:0:root,user1,user2" for example). Don't add too many 
accounts that aren't your own to the wheel group.

You can also do this when creating new accounts through sysinstall or by 
running adduser from the command line. Here you can enter member groups that 
your user belongs to including wheel.
