You have to add your user to the wheel group to be able to su.

Hi,
I installed FREEBSD 5.2.1. I can telnet to Free BSD box from Windows 2000 client. I
can telnet to it with my USERNAME and PASSWORD. Then I want to be root. So I issue SU
- ( or SU - root). then FreeBSD box asks me the passwrd (root's password ).
when I give root's password, FreeBSD box does not accept . Why ? Pls help me ...
Thanks
