You need to add yourself to the 'wheel' group to su or you need to add the
proper line to /usr/local/etc/sudoers to sudo correctly.

When su'ing, pass 'su -' (assumes the path of the user your changing to).

When sudo'ing, pass 'sudo su -' (same principle applies, but you don't need
to to be in wheel to use this command)
