Semantic change in su with pam

2001-10-12 Thread Daniel Rock
Hi, just noticed a slight semantic change while using su: Before pam, you can disable the wheel check if this group is empty. Now this isn't possible any more. I know I just could comment out pam_wheel from /etc/pam.conf but what about the following solution: Adding another flag for pam_wheel, w
