Re: [gentoo-user] su issues

[Andrew Ross]

Your user account needs to be a member of the group wheel (gid 10 under 
Gentoo Linux, gid 0 under FreeBSD) in order to su to the root user.

You can check group membership this using the "id" command.

This is an additional security measure taken, I believe from *BSD (I 
might be wrong about that).

Cheers

Sorry.
Huh? Permission denied?  Whats up with this? Anyone experience it beore? 
How can I fix it? sudo works fine but if I want to do several things as 
root I don't want to sudo each of them.
