+    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+    <para>
+      The pam_wheel PAM module is used to enforce the so-called
+      <emphasis>wheel</emphasis> group. By default it permits
+      access to the target user if the applicant user is a member of the
+      <emphasis>wheel</emphasis> group. If no group with this name exist,
+      the module is using the group with the group-ID
+      <emphasis remap='B'>0</emphasis>.

+            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 <option>group</option> option),
+            deny access. Conversely, if the user is not in the group, return
+            PAM_IGNORE (unless <option>trust</option> was also specified,
+            in which case we return PAM_SUCCESS).

+            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).
