Paulo,
I had this problem too. It came from not being careful enough with
the etc-update procedure after upgrading dhcp. I believe that one
of the versions of dhcp overwrites the /etc/passwd and|or /etc/group
files. This is _very_ bad. Either, your root user got blown away,
or, more likely, you got kicked out of the wheel group in the
/etc/group file. If you have a backup of /etc/group and /etc/passwd
I'd recommend finding the effected lines.
