Second, 'wheel' -- its a security feature. check out the FAQs under 'system administration'. (on the freebsd homepage) To add a user to the group, the easiest way is to simply edit '/etc/group' directly: From: wheel:*:0:root To: wheel:*:0:root,emon (or whatever your user name is) The change will take effect next time you log in as 'emon' Lastly, when posting to this list, send the email to freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org -- otherwise, the list doesn't see it!
