Setting up for rootaccess via SSH

So since gaining root access via ssh or from a normal user account is by default blocked in FreeBSD it's important to fix this first thing after the installation is complete, unless planning to do everything logged in physically as root that is.

Login as root and do the following
# cd /etc
# ee group

Change this:
wheel:*:0:root
To this:
wheel:*:0:root,youraccountname
And thats it, you can now use the "su" command while being logged in via ssh on your normal account.
