Subject:   pam_ldap and nss_ldap : checken and egg problem with "wheel" group and "su" utility

Hello, Freebsd-security.

  I have chicken-adn-egg problem with wheel group and su utility when
all users but root are stored in LDAP.

    wheel group should be in /etc/group to allow basic system services
to start before LDAP is available.

    But when "wheel" is in /etc/group with only "root" member (as all
 other members are in LDAP), system never takes "wheel" members from
 LDAP (because /etc/group has priority) and "su" doesn't work!

   What is proper way to resolve this problem?
