  I personally can't agree with this, as suggested.  If, however, there
were a checkbox (defaulted off!) saying "add this user to wheel group" (or
whichever group), you'd get my vote.

I like this option but would prefer something more newbie-friendly such as:

"Add this user to sudo list" 
or
"Give this user root privileges (with sudo)"
or
"Make this user an administrator (sudo)"
or some such.

Whatever, it would be good to see this in F8 as the code is already
there and like Axel I find it a useful feature of other Linux
distributions.

Chris
