    additional information:

    I found there were some problems about wheel group setting.

    1) For the previous described setting, members of wheel group can su to any
       user without typing passwd, while they can only su to root without passwd
       before.

    2) After disabling the wheel group setting, root can su to any user it want.

    Thank you!
