Why do that?  Anyway, if you must, run:

control su wheelonly

Does this help?  On a default install of Owl, it'd enable su for use by
users in group wheel.  (There's also the wheel setting, which
corresponds to BSD-like behavior, but I think wheelonly is better most
of the time... if you enable any of these at all, which you normally
should not.)

# control su list
public wheel wheelonly restricted

Please use control(8) instead of editing these files manually (although
you can if you know what you're doing).
