BAD SU

[vdm.fbsd at virgilio.it]

But user "victor" it's me! I mean I have only root and a user victor (belonging
to the group wheel too!) with no special privileges...

Could the cause of that warning be the fact that - in view of the long time
required for the compilation - I opened a new console as user 'victor' and
then failed the su command having provided the wrong password?
