Are you in the wheel group?

No, I am not in wheel group. I thought I could su if I am not in the
wheel group (well, at least I can do it on linux) but I am learning
FreeBSD slowly.
You _must_ be in the wheel group to be able to su in any case. Linux
people see whole wheel group and root as a bad thing for anarchistic
society, BSD folks like the additional layer of security - One has to
crack wheel group users password or account in order to get root in a
machine using su.
BUt why it won't let me log in as root? As I have read if the
following line has secure written then root logins are allowed:
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/kdm" xterm on secure
or have I missaunderstood this?
Secure means that root can login from these terminals directly (insecure
terminals enforce the login as regular user then su:ing).
