If it came from the linux version of pam, then pam_wheel is broken.
It uses the groups of the person listed in utmp as owning the tty,
instead of the groups of the person running su.

This breaks stuff like su'ing to a sysadmin and then su'ing to root
from a normal users terminal, and means you can't su without a utmp
entry.
