aaa55367ba As per discussion with mrg, back out parts of previous change.
The appropriate entry in /etc/group as returned by getgrnam() is
used to determine if 'su root' may be permitted, rather than
checking if membership exists in the result of getgroups().

The following changes were made regarding the behaviour of the special
group for 'su root'
* allow for definition of SUGROUP (defaults to "wheel") to override group name.
* use getgrnam(SUGROUP) instead of getgrgid(0).
* only scan getgrnam(SUGROUP)->gr_mem when checking for group membership.
* be more specific as to why 'su root' failed

NOTE: If a user's primary group is SUGROUP, and they're not a member
of SUGROUP in /etc/group, they will not be able to su.

8d846dbbd1 * Notify of impending password or account expiry (check against
_PASSWORD_WARNDAYS from <pwd.h>). For non-root users, enforce expiry when
  it happens. From Simon Gerraty <sjg@zen.void.oz.au> in [bin/935].
* Check for group 0 in process's current group membership (as returned by
  getgroups(2)), instead of just looking at the entry for wheel in /etc/group.
  Based on code by Dan Caresone <dan@oink.geek.com.au> in [bin/792], and
  also solves [bin/2466].
* Clean up to pass -Wall

b440233d15 Document the recent change in group wheel semantics. Also, it wasn't
previously documented that anyone could su to root if group 0 didn't
exist.
