Poulin" Subject: User in group wheel can't su to root Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.8 on my 2nd system, and I have set up everything as I did on my other system. However, my user account that I created is unable to su to root. The first thing I checked was to make sure it was in the "wheel" group. It is. Even stranger, when I had the PPP daemon running (ppp -auto) when I try to su to root, for some reason it tries to use my tun0 device and actually starts dialling out! I have no explanation for this, and I hope somebody else can help. Thanks in advance, MP.
