a) I do not have the dnf command as well. Is there a port that I can 
build to get usermod ?
b) I tried 'pw groupmod vboxusers -m <X>' a couple of times more, and 
rebooted. Now I can see vboxusers among my groups. But I am still unable 
to run VirtualBox. Executing VirtualBox gets me :

irtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain!
VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root (euid=1001 egid=1001 uid=1001 
gid=1001)

VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.

VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) - Permission denied.

I have already done the following :

kldload'ed radeon (via /etc/rc.local)
reinstalled virtualbox-ose
again executed change of permissions for /usr/local/bin/VirtualBox and 
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/* to 755

Can anyone please help me fix the system to get VirtualBox up and running ?

Thanks
