| Make your username a member of the "wheel" group. Then when you want to have root privilages type "su" and the root password when prompted. After you're finished acting as root type "exit". | |

I'm not to sure what you're asking. Are you saying that you can't add groups after you su? Also, are you asking for general information on groups, or the wheel group specifically? | |

| yes i can't add users after i su... | |

| I'm not sure what the problem is. If you've been doing some security tweaks, especially with chown and/or chmod, then this may have caused what's happening. Maybee Randy will have some idea of what's going on. |
