See if you have a group named wheel.  If not, create it. If you have
the shadow password suite (this is standard on Slackware but may not
be on RedHat): 'groupadd wheel'.  Otherwise, simply edit /etc/group.
(The name 'wheel' is arbitrary but standard.  You could use any
name.)

Add userids to the wheel group.  If you have shadow, use 'usermod -G
wheel <userid>'.  If not, edit /etc/group.

# chown root.wheel su; chmod o-x su; chmod u+s su

You are presumably talking about a PAM-ified su.  Linux may have the
su from GNU sh-utils or the su from the shadow password suite. 
Neither of those (AFAIK) supports specifying a list of accounts that
each user can su to.
