I dunno why it is relying on the device ID there, but it in general is a less secure solution than just using su(1). > OTOH, I've found no issues with /dev/ttyE0 being the "console". In general that's probably OK for something like a laptop or a desktop with similarly limited operation. However for a system that has the possibility of both a serial console and a keyboard and monitor, /dev/constty is the best way to access the console. > Change HZ to 1000 and NetBSD will be on par with FreeBSD and Linux, I think. I've used "options HZ=1024" (or 1000) on all my systems since 1.6 or even before. -- Greg A.
