When you do so, you get a message that starts: XFree86 4.0 may contain vulnerabilities yielding root privileges to local users, due to insecure coding of the setuid root X server. This means it's not a good idea to install it as the default server. Until that gets fixed (and the xfree86 group has to fix it), that won't change. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
