   Why do you want it?

   1) It won't increase your security.
   2) If you want to run XFree, just set options "INSECURE" in your
   kernel.

   .pm


In particular, because some of the X servers need it.  The ATI Mach64 one,
for example.  Apparently, others can get some benefit from it.  This was
certainly true in the near past and I presume is still true.
