Hello, after upgrading my ports collection using portupgrade(1) I couldn't start X. I got the following error: "xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root" So I changed the permission of /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 from -rwxr-xr-x to -rwsr-xr-x, and then I could startx(1). The server in questions is XFree86-Server-4.2.0_5. I was wondering why wasn't suid bit set by default ? And did anybody else get this same error ?
