 There is not a problem with the user or user's configuration,
 there is not a problem with the handbook text,
 the software is incorrect here.

 The root user, or any user in the wheel group seems exempt
 from the security checks here.  Robert Watson and I have
 discussed this, but have not implemented a fix.

 This PR can be assigned to either myself or rwatson.  Perhaps
 to me so I can oversee it's closing.  Otherwise, just close
 it.  Thanks!
