Folgendes steht dazu in jargon: |

|

wheel: n. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
[from slang 'big wheel' for a powerful person] |
| 14 |
A person who has an active wheel bit. 'We need to find a wheel to unwedge |
| 15 |
the hung tape drives.' (See wedged, sense 1.) The traditional name of |
| 16 |
security group zero in BSD (to which the major system-internal users like |
| 17 |
root belong) is 'wheel'. Some vendors have expanded on this usage, |
| 18 |
modifying Unix so that only members of group 'wheel' can go root. |
