After getting always the answer that it is working on my machine, I stopped reporting it. Just built a VM and installed 9.0-R from the ISO. Installed gnu-screen and bash (from ports). Built and installed xorg-server from ports without issue: ===> Compressing manual pages for xorg-server-1.7.7_5,1 ===> Registering installation for xorg-server-1.7.7_5,1 ===> SECURITY REPORT: This port has installed the following binaries which execute with increased privileges. /usr/local/bin/Xorg This port has installed the following files which may act as network servers and may therefore pose a remote security risk to the system. /usr/local/bin/Xorg If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of ports included in the Ports Collection. Please type 'make deinstall' to deinstall the port if this is a concern.
