Hi there
Thanx to all of u for helping me out to install gentoo ... Without ur
suggestions it wouldnt have been possible ..
Now that i have completed installation and created users .. I am not
able to log into the superuser mode through my login , it keeps
showing
su -
Password:
su: Permission denied
Sorry.
Even when i try to access the root previliges through the user , it
does not accept my password but the password i am entering is correct
.. What can be possibly wrong with it ...
Thnx & Rgds

You need to be a member of the wheel group.
gpasswd -a username wheel
as root
