Add or Remove Users in FreeBSD Groups


After installing FreeBSD, regular users are not allowed to log in as the "root" user via the "su -" command. The following procedure shows how to grant superuser access for administrative convenience, assuming that the regular user knows the superuser password.

==========

1. Access "root" from login screen.

login: root
Password:

2. Add a user to the group.

root@host: # pw groupmod wheel -m username

3. Check if such user has been added to the group.

root@host: # pw groupshow wheel

/* The added user needs to log out and log in again for the changes to take effect. */

4. Remove a user from the group.

root@host: # pw groupmod wheel -d username

5. Log out from "root".

root@host: # exit
