Looks like I might need "kern.securelevel = -1" as well.

NetBSD 1.6.1 system:

kern.securelevel = -1
toad# ls -l /dev/console
crw-------  1 rmk  tty  0, 0 Jan  4 00:34 /dev/console
xconsole is not suid
xconsole works

NetBSD-current system:

kern.securelevel = 1
roothog# ls -l /dev/console
crw-------  1 root  wheel  0, 0 Jan  4 00:56 /dev/console
xconsole is not suid
xconsole doesn't work.

I probably should have stayed with XFree 3.3.6.
