      The pam_wheel PAM module is used to enforce the so-called
      <span class="emphasis"><em>wheel</em></span> group. By default it permits
      access to the target user if the applicant user is a member of the
      <span class="emphasis"><em>wheel</em></span> group. If no group with this name exist,
      the module is using the group with the group-ID
      <span class="emphasis"><em>0</em></span>.

            Reverse the sense of the auth operation: if the user
            is trying to get UID 0 access and is a member of the
            wheel group (or the group of the <code class="option">group</code> option),
            deny access. Conversely, if the user is not in the group, return
            PAM_IGNORE (unless <code class="option">trust</code> was also specified,
            in which case we return PAM_SUCCESS).

            Instead of checking the wheel or GID 0 groups, use
            the <code class="option"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></code> group
            to perform the authentication.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">

            The check for wheel membership is done only when the target user

            The pam_wheel module will return PAM_SUCCESS instead
            of PAM_IGNORE if the user is a member of the wheel group
            (thus with a little play stacking the modules the wheel
            members may be able to su to root without being prompted
            for a passwd).

            The check for wheel membership will be done against
            the current uid instead of the original one (useful when
            jumping with su from one account to another for example).
