            Bug ID: 224717
           Summary: Group referred to by name instead of ID in
                    /etc/pam.d/su
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dorionpatrick@outlook.com

On my system (that I renamed DogeOS), the group with GID 0 is called "shibe=
s",
and while some installation scripts check for the existence of a group call=
ed
"wheel", I figured I only needed the reference entry, so I removed the
usernames, and I moved it down with the other system group entries (in the =
file
they're divided into user/daemons/system), and rebooted as part the
installation of a display manager (SLiM), although after rebooting, I tried=
 to
use the su(8) utility, and it apologetically refused any interaction...

The reason why su(8) wouldn't work is because of /etc/pam.d/su which has an
option group that has "group=3Dwheel" as an entry.

I set it as "group=3D0" and now everything works as expected.
