I'm experiencing the same problem, with one difference: The solution does not apply to my system >:-( I added the suggested line in my pam.conf, with no effect. I then copied /usr/src/etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.conf, and as a result I now get even more errors. This is the message I get: bash-2.03$ startx Authentication failed - cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? I am facing this problem since I installed the x11/xfree86 port that included the 335 xfree sources. I installed and make'd the 336 port last week, with no effect. I'm getting pretty desparate and considering re-installing from my genuine FreeBSD 3.2 CD :-( Sounds like Winblows, eh? :( I'll post my startx-output, truss-startx-output, x config file and kernel config file tomorrow.
