Subject:   Unable to start X as any user other than root

I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-RC and XFree86-4.0.3 from the ports collection.  If
I start X as root, everything is fine.  If I start X as any other user, I
get this error message:

Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"

/var/log/XFree86.0.log has perms 0644.  Are these the correct perms?

I looked at the list archives for the last week or so and didn't see
anything on this, but if this has been discussed already and I overlooked
it, pointing me to the right thread would be greatly appreciated.

Sean.
