This is set by the Preferences application - the "Unix Expert" mode which
is I believe right next to "Public Window Server" under the "cube" icon.
You'll need to log out afterwards and log back in for the browser to
actually pick up the changed preferences, although there may be a shortcut
I haven't found (might try opening a second browser on the root directory).

If your account was created with your primary group something other that
wheel, and group "wheel" was added as a secondary group, you'll need to run
"niload group . < /etc/group" to update the netinfo copy of the database.
