'su' - privilieges

Asked by kvaade in Linux, Linux Administration, Linux Distributions

OpenSuse 11.0

I only want my own user to be able to 'su'.

In /etc/pam.d/su I added:
auth     sufficient     pam_rootok.so   debug
auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=wheel

I then added my regular user to the group wheel.
Now my user is the only user that may 'su'. This works OK.

However, from the desktop (when I am my own user) I'm now not able to start Yast directly from Desktop. The root password is not accepted. How do I enable this?
