I seem to have developed a problem on my system. I can add new users

use 'sudo' but that doesn't fix the problem.
The users need to be listed in /etc/group as belonging to `wheel'.
The
login group-id isn't consulted by su(1).
And, rather than just have then su and then run tons of commands you
really should list them in sudoers so they ( and you ) can do ''sudo
command ..." . You might find that that is safer than just su'ing
and staying in a shell as root.
