Since FreeBSD 5 includes pseudo-terminal access functions grantpt(3) and others, we should be able to make use of them instead of having luit installed setuid. So testers are welcome to try the patch. Users of Xorg need to grab http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/luit/patch-luit_grantpt and put it in x11/xorg-clients/files directory. XFree86-4-clients needs a change in Makefile, so the patch for port is here: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xfree/luit/xf44-luit.diff It applies in x11/XFree86-4-clients directory. After this you need to recompile and reinstall xorg- or XFree86-4- -clients without having WITH_SETUID_LUIT defined and see if things work as expected (ie as before with WITH_SETUID_LUIT defined). And of course let us know how it goes. This will not make a difference on FreeBSD 4.X. Dejan
