>Description:
When the OS is booted up without X all is well. The following line in 
/etc/ttys does exactly what it should. That is it allows logins on the
serial port.
       cuaa3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on      secure

However, when X is started either through startx or xdm this port is blocked.
Logins are impossible and a current user is prevented from using the port.
The problem remains until the next reboot.

Interestingly, the modem, setup using the following line is not affected
by X at all.

       modem   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup  off     insecure

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot up without X. Logins through cuaa3 work properly. Start X using startx
on a console virtual terminal. Serial port is now blocked. Killing X does
not help.

>Fix:
	???

State-Changed-Why:  
Sounds like a misconfiguration. Try again with a newer release of XFree86 
and FreeBSD and open another PR if it's still a problem, and include 
XFree86 config file.
