If you added the users to the group wheel in the text files /etc/passwd or
/etc/groups then it won't work.  You need to tell NetInfo about the change.
Type "groups" to see what groups NetInfo thinks you are in. If it doesn't
show wheel, use the nidump and niload commands to add the information.
If you /etc/groups file is correct, you should be able to type
niload groups / < /etc/groups
and NetInfo will be updated.  If you haven't set up a network domain
replace the first / with a period.
