I am having trouble with the su command.   Every time I try to do an su, it
gives me a 'sorry' even though I belong to the wheel group (0) and I use
the right pw.   Does anyone have any possible clue as to why I cannot use
su from another users acct?  OH, it also gives me the error if I try to do
and su at console form another user as well.
    thanx in advance.
