 And so it is in RH(7.2) as well (stock bit from /etc/pam.d/su):

# Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel"
# group.
#auth       sufficient   /lib/security/pam_wheel.so trust use_uid
# Uncomment the following line to require a user to be in the "wheel"
# group.
#auth       required     /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid
