From: Michael Biebl Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 00:31:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Default to AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel for local authority" This reverts commit 763faf434b445c20ae9529100d3ef5290976d0c9. On Red Hat derivatives, every member of group 'wheel' is necessarily privileged. On Debian derivatives, there is no wheel group, and gid 0 (root) is not used in this way. Change the default rule to consider uid 0 to be privileged, instead. On Red Hat derivatives, 50-default.rules is not preserved by upgrades; on dpkg-based systems, it is a proper conffile and may be edited (at the sysadmin's own risk), so the comment about not editing it is misleading.
