Synopsis: users not in @wheel cannot change their passwords

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback

State-Changed-Why: 

I think the problem is not the wheel group, but that "passwd" does
not work from an "su" session, because passwd uses the login name,
which is not changed by su. It should work fine to run "passwd
prema" as root, or to log into the user account directly (without
su) and run passwd there. Can you confirm that this is the case?
