We've noticed this as well with NIS if your using it. Make sure wheel is the same on all the servers, on Linux which is still our main servers group 0 is root, whereas in FreeBSD group 0 is wheel. As our NIS servers are on Linux, this also created the can't cd to root, incorrect group. We did place +:*: at the end of our /etc/group file, but during the night some cron job placed it at the beginning of the file.
