This message is caused by the incorrect permissions on /bin/login. I
don't know the side effects of this, but I have not noticed any
drawbacks.
It might be interesting to figure out why everything works perfectly,
even when the permissions are not correct.
You can fix this using: "chmod u+s /bin/login".
