Hi,

I have just installed 2.2-GAMMA, my first BSD experience, and I like
it, however I have one problem with /usr/bin/su.  I am in the group
``wheel'' like the manpage says, but I still have little luck.  I
looked for this is the FAQ but found nothing.  Here is a transcript:

sonja:[p2]/[17:50:06]:~% groups
wheel
sonja:[p2]/[17:50:09]:~% su
su: kerberos: not in root's ACL.
su: you are not in the correct group to su root.

I believe only the second error message is important.

Thanks, Terry Murphy
