Thank-you.

This gives the desired behavior for users in group wheel.  However, for 
users not in wheel it still asks for the nonexistent root password.  Is 
there a way to have the system simply state something like, "You don't 
have permission to access this program.  Contact your system administrator?"

Or perhaps there is a man page/doc I should take a look at instead of 
asking here.  Any pointers?
