Hi, The page https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html contains the phrase: > • Edit /etc/ttys and change off to on and dialup to vt100 for the ttyu0 entry. Otherwise, a password will not be required to connect via the serial console, resulting in a potential security hole. This is not correct anymore for the latest release, and even then it is not the best way to describe what should be done. Better would be to state what the line should be so that it is immediately clear what has to happen. The latest Release now has the following line in /etc/ttys: > ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 onifconsole secure This does not even need any changing. Regards, Jeroen.help
