OS FreeBSD 2.2.1,

why cannot su ?  what am I missing. Group is right.

See the output below.

$ id
uid=1000(jahan) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel)    
$ su root  
su: you are not in the correct group to su root.
$

Once had this problem when not using a `,' separator in /etc/group
ie. wheel:*:0:root,myname
