Details

Description:


Additional info:
* package version(s)
coreutils?
* config and/or log files etc.
/etc/pam.d/su


Steps to reproduce:

edit
/etc/pam.d/su
uncomment this line
auth sufficient pam_wheel.so trust use_uid

save file

Now every user in the wheel group should be able to invoke su without root password.
This is very nice/secure way of managing elevated privileges

Problem:
after the latest update (coreutils?)
members of wheel group are asked for root password when issuing
su

this indicates that pam is broken

latest system update
02-08-2008
arch: i686

Duplicate of  FS#4857 . I've used exactly the same steps to test it with 6.9-4, 6.10-1 and 6.10-2. The latest version fixed the bug (tested on i686).
