Just installed FreeBSD-14.1 and found that I can't
su to root from a normal user. Any help in the right
direction will be appreciated.

       PAM  is  used  to set the policy su(1) will use.  In particular, by de-
       fault only users in the "wheel" group can switch  to  UID  0  ("root").
       This group requirement may be changed by modifying the "pam_group" sec-
       tion  of  /etc/pam.d/su.  See pam_group(8) for details on how to modify
       this setting.

Thank you for your sugestion.
Problem solved. It was an ortographic mistake.
I used the colon (:) instead of a comma (,) in the wheel group to include the
normal user.
Thank you again.
