that is convoluted wording to say the least, had to read it like three times to make sure I was understanding correctly...

    No...now you can su from any user. To su normally, all you have to do is add yourself to the group wheel. Just make sure that after you do so, you logout/login with that user before trying to 'su -'.

    @sarumont: The first thing I did was to add this to /etc/suauth:
    Code:
    root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY
    That means that not everybody can su root, only those in the wheelgroup. And I am in the wheel-group, I have been since I created the user "jaboua". The option SU_WHEEL_ONLY also had to be "no" to su root from ANYBODY not in the root-group. I guess it was allready configured when I did stage3, but not with the stage1...
