This is true in version 2.0.11, which ships with Red Hat Linux 7.2. Whatever earlier version shipped with Red Hat Linux 5.1 did not require a tty in the case of no password.
The reason I care is that I want to put some buttons on my desktop that executed commands under particular non-passworded user identities. Such things worked fine before I upgraded, but they don't work now. Is this change supposed to be a "feature"? Is there a way (other than trying to locate some old version of su) to work around it? -- L.
