Since the last questin seemed to spark so much interest and conversation,
I figured I'd try again ...

Does anyone know why the wheel group is called "wheel"?  I mean, why not
"admins" or something like that.  "wheel" certainly is a cryptic name for
the administrators group.  Anyone have any idea why it's called "wheel"?
