group 'wheel'

[ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)]

Hello,

 this is kind of a newbie question.
 
 I installed the secure-su package and there is a config file
 in /etc which can be used to restrict the access to 'su' on
 members of the group 'wheel'.
 I also heard of this group in conjunction with wu-ftpd (but I
 haven't installed this).

 What's so special with 'wheel' and why don't we have such a group
 in Debian?

 Thanks,

  Ulf
