             At this point, you should do a simple test to see if

-            the configuration. If you did receive errors, stop now and double
-            check the above configuration files manually. One obvious reason
-            for an error is if the user is not in group <systemitem
-            class="groupname">wheel</systemitem>. You may want to run (as
-            <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>): <command>usermod
