Ok, I've set up FreeBSD, I am root but I don't want to be in the system as
root all the time.  When I log into my regular account and try to su it 
says
"your are not a member of the right group to use su".  HOW do I become su
and how do I add groups??
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Add your user account  to the wheel group in /etc/group
man su for more details.


How do I set up are allow individual users of my system to set up there own
X Window enviornment.  For instance, I like windowmanger, someone else 
wants
to use KDE, and another wants Gnome.  How do I set this up?  The default
choice of xfree sets up everyone's X Window the same.


Ensure that each of them have their own accounts, and each person can 
customise their X session through files such as ~/.xinitrc, ~/.Xdefaults, 
etc.


Good luck,
