Only user belonging to the 'wheel' group can su to root. You can put yourself into wheel by editing /etc/group: wheel:*:0:root,mj <-- this makes me (mj) belong to wheel! theredaemon:*:1:daemon kmem:*:2:root sys:*:3:root tty:*:4:root operator:*:5:root mail:*:6: bin:*:7: news:*:8: etc A HUP is a HangUP signal you can send to a process (=running program) with the kill commmand kill -HUP 1164 Kills process number 1164 (PID=Process ID). Use top or 'ps -ax' to list processes.
