Well, yes he can if he wants - he can do anything he
wants, even use root as a user account! My answer was
from the viewpoint of Gentoo's default. It may not be
gospel but I assume there is a good reason for doing it
that way and before I change it I'd do some checking to
see what the ramifications are.

It's his system, and if he wants to dispense with the
wheel group
requirement then he can; the defaults are only defaults,
not gospel. The

user, even those not
in the 'wheel' group to su"
