--@heading Why GNU @code{su} does not support the @samp{wheel} group
--
--(This section is by Richard Stallman.)

--@cindex Twenex
--@cindex MIT AI lab
--Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the
--rest. For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to
--seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and
--keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup
--and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I
--wouldn't know how to do that in Unix.)
--
--However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual
--@code{su} mechanism, once someone learns the root password who
--sympathizes with the ordinary users, he or she can tell the rest. The
--``wheel group'' feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the
--power of the rulers.
--
--I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are
--used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you
--might find this idea strange at first.
