State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 9 09:02:05 PST 2004 
State-Changed-Why:  
To su from a user account to root, the user has to be in the wheel 
group.  See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-groups.html 
for adding a user to a group. 

Questions like this should rather be directed to the 
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailinglist, which is made for this kind 
of questions.
