Having brought my X-Installation completely up to date (or so I think)
to X 3... I know see this in the X messages...

konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp2::/dev/ttyp2.
       : This means the session can be eavesdroped.
       : Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
       : /usr/local/bin/ and setuid root.

"whereis" reveals

konsole_grantpty: /usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty

"ls" reveals

-rwsr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5380 Nov 19 02:09 /usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty

And "echo $PATH" reveals

PATH is 

/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/cls/bin:.:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games

"ls" also reveals

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    6,   2 Nov 21 07:33 /dev/ptyp2
       ^^
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    5,   2 Nov 21 09:03 /dev/ttyp2
       ^^

Clues ?
