Re: [cobalt-users] SU from user other than a member of wheel

[Tomas Garcia Ferrari <tgf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To have this your file /etc/pam.d/su should include these two lines:

    auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so debug
    auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=wheel

This is not by default, I guess...
