Hi,

I've run into a problem where I've created a user on the system (funny enough
called 'richard') and set the user up to be a member of group wheel since I
read that I have to be member of that group to allow me to su to root.

Unfortunately, when I try and su, I get an error message saying that I am
not a member of a suitable group to su to root with...

any ideas on what I've done wrong and what I should do ?

how do I go about adding new groups and making users members of multiple 
groups - can I ?

Cheers,
	Richard
