        use_uid         the check for wheel membership will be done against
 
10
                        the current uid instead of the original one
 
11
                        (useful when jumping with su from one account to
 
12
                        another for example)
 
13
 
 
14
        trust           the pam_wheel module will return PAM_SUCCESS instead
 
15
                        of PAM_IGNORE if the user is a member of the wheel

                        group (thus with a little play stacking the modules
 
17
                        the wheel members may be able to su to root without
 
18
                        being prompted for a passwd).

22
                        wheel group, deny access (well, kind of nonsense, but
 
23
                        for use in conjunction with 'group' argument... :-)
 
24
 
 
25
        group=xxxx      Instead of checking the GID 0 group, use the xxxx
 
26
                        group to perform the authentification.
