Curious problem w/ 5.2-RELEASE su

Additionally, I am seeing this message in syslog:

Jan 20 10:48:26 tokyo su: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_wheel.so found

though /usr/lib/pam_wheel.so -> /usr/lib/pam_wheel.so.2 exists, and has
the same md5 hash as on the working host.  What am I missing here?
