No, under linux there's a log of successful and non-successful su attempts. They're saying that unless your in the wheel group in BSD you can't su regardless of it being successful or not, whereas linux allows su's from any user. Of course that can be modified in linux as well only allowing certain users the privelage. BSD just makes it default-install easy by simply having the choice of adding users to the wheel group.
