What inspiration (or maybe logical thought) is behind the
_naming_ of the "wheel" group?
I could find many explainations of what "wheel" is, what it
is for and how it is used (basic knowledge, I know), but I
couldn't find anything that states why this name has been
chosen. From other UNIX systems I know that there are groups
performing similar functions, but having different names
(such as "sysadmin" on Solaris prior to RBAC).
This question definitely shows my age. :-)
