I have tried to modify evey section of the /etc/passwd with vipw to add a
user to the correct sendary group 'wheel' to be able to su ... why is this
not working ? I need to be able to su every now and then in a telnet or ssh
session.

thanks for any ideas and help all is greatly appreciated.

cheers,
