You're preaching to the choir here. The fact of the matter is that this is the 'way it is', and if you want it changed, then you must provide a fix to the XFree86 folks, which means figuring out a way to fix it 'safely' inside both XFree and FreeBSD. The other argument is that X is inherently insecure, so if you want a truly secure system, you shouldn't be using X. Nate
