Wheel behaviour

[Bob Bernstein <poobah%ruptured-duck.com@localhost>]

My understanding of the wheel group is that only its members 
can su to root user, but they need to supply root's password 
to do so.

7.0-RC3 is on a VM here (more questions later about that!), 
and it runs quite well. It was nice during the install to be 
asked not only if I wanted to add a user but also if I 
wanted that user to be put into the wheel group.

So I am surprised to see that when, as that user, I type 
'su', I am propelled into root user status without needing 
to enter a password.

Thoughts, anyone?
