As the comment says, the entry causes pam to implicitly trust members of the wheel group. Eliminating the need to type a 14 char pw 10 times a day is a time-saver.
PAM itself should be pretty secure, but what you are trying to achieve isn't. There is a reason behind that password prompt. You don't want anyone who gains access to your account (daemons, scripts, ...) to have root access right away without ever asking for a password. If you don't want to type yours that often use sudo -s. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net
