Date: 8 Aug 1994 16:37:15 -0400 Organization: Laurentian University, Sudbury, ON, Canada Lines: 12 Message-ID: <32651r$5lc@penage.cs.laurentian.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: penage.cs.laurentian.ca Question popped into my head while driving home from the cottage/camp. What is the history of group "wheel"? Is there an interesting anecdote similar to biff(1)? My 1st guess is that the wheel is analagous to driving a vehicle and you should only let responsible people (who can su to root) get behind the wheel. -- Doug Eastick
