Then somebody needs to update the man page:
"SU_GROUP If defined, it changes the default group that is
allowed to become ``root'' from ``wheel'' to the
specified string."
"SU_ROOTAUTH If defined, it specifies a group whose members are
allowed to become ``root'' by supplying their own
password instead of the ``root'' one."
