| 
| 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.
