I cannot try this now to see if it still works, but in the past I've used the following workaround for this: use "su -" to su to a member of the wheel group (the "-" makes this a login shell),

That worked.

and then use either a "su" or a "su -" to become root.

But that failed, reporting incorrect password.

I don't know how to block this approach,

My test indicates it's already blocked. Egan
