Eeeek! You shouldn't edit these things directly, it's better to go via
the command vipw...

Yep. Edit the file /etc/group. joe /etc/group, and aed the name of the
user who want to su to the line wheel. On my machine:

wheel:*:0:root,neil,neilwork

...is the top line of the file. So root can go to root (obviously), as
can neil and neilwork, but nobody else.

	Take care,
