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.

<URL:https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=su&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html>
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.
