changed /usr/local/bin/checkpasswd to 755 but did not think it would be 
wise to change the the entire /usr/local directory like you suggest 
anyway i just get the same output now as my wheel user rmvg as i did with su

v22.computerking.ca > ~ $ls -l /usr/local/bin/checkpassword
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7676 Mar  5 03:59 /usr/local/bin/checkpassword

What are the permissions of checkpassword? Try this:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/checkpassword
Then try this:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/checkpassword
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin
chmod 755 /usr/local
Might do the trick.
