http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serial.html does =
not
mention the new serial port device naming introduced recently (i.e. uart, t=
tyu,
cuau).  Section 26.2.2.2.2 Port Names is where these names are first mentio=
ned.=20
I skipped version 7, so don't know if a global replace is appropriate of if=
 both
old and new names need to be mentioned until 7 is EOL.

Section 26.3.1.2 PCs Acting as Terminals mentions cu(1) and tip(1), but omi=
t any
mention of what is needed to get them to work for normal users.  It looks l=
ike
two options are adding authorized users to the dialer group, or making cu(1=
) and
tip(1) setguid dialer to enable use for all users.  Might be worth adding t=
his to
the man pages as well as the handbook.
