Off hand, I'd say loose the spaces. Try

wheel:*:0:kirk,johnp,peterjs

I've got me & root in wheel w/o spaces and it all works.

Probably not good on a machine w/ other people as there are places
where security is based on group #; make them su before they get at
all such things.

I bet the problem is that su looks at the "wheel" entry, not entry
# 0, but that's just a guess.

Take care,
