Edit the /etc/group file and add your new account like so: wheel:*:0:root,$YOUR_ACCOUNT
Just curious....why would you do this rather than using pw?
pw usermod username -G wheel
I've always thought it was a bad idea to edit the passwd and groups file directly, because the dbs don't get built that way.
