Is there any compelling reason for su to continue to use this pretty
lame diagnostic?  A lot of the instances of this FAQ would be dealt with
by using the message:

	"only members of group wheel may su to root"

Of course, crusties will argue that the group name is inconsequential
and that what matters is a GID of zero.  Poo poo.

Ciao,
