Wheel Group
Is it normal that all downloaded files have wheel group permissions set?
"One cannot log into a machine remotely via telnet as root (unless root has no password), and therefore users who wish to obtain root access remotely must first log in as a normal user and then use su to gain root access. By restricting wheel access you can therefore reduce the probability that a compromised account will result in an intruder obtaining privileged access via the network."
How do I restrict wheel access?
