Ok, I'm nitpicking here, but the message is irritating, particularly when
you use 'su -l' instead.  I can easily change this. (on *every* machine)
My main problem is that this doesn't make any sense for less knowledgeable
users (that are root, *shudder*) who think they're doing the right thing.

I don't know how many times I've heard, "What's this about use 'su' instead
of logging is as root?  I was using su."

Minor thing, but seems bad to then "clarify" the message to be even more
wrong. :-) (e.g. wrong on both counts. I was non-root, and I did use su(1))

Just my 2/100th of the new US Dollar coin.. :-)
