Oddly enough, I have both an Alliant FX/40 running BSD4.2 and

and I can 'su' to root on both sets of machines *without*
being a member of the 'wheel' group. There must be some
other fairly wide-spread mechanism for setting up this
access. All of our systems are standard distributions.
We have not fooled with anything in the BSD packages
that came with the machines.
