I came across the same problem TODAY. I thought I had done something wrong
with the Linux load.
It is so good to hear someone else has the same problem. I am eagerly
awaiting the solution.

Subject: PAM and wheel issues
Folks,
I've set /etc/pam.d/su to only allow su to root when users are in the
wheel group, with this line
"auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_wheel.so use_uid"
From README.pam_wheel
"only permit root authentication to members of wheel group"
However this is preventing users NOT in the wheel group from switching
user to anyone, not just to root.
I've tried this on 2 boxes with different versions of PAM: pam-0.77-65.1
and pam-0.77-66.13.
Anyone come across this before or have an explanation for this behaviour ?
Cheers,
Nick .
