I've installed MacBSD 1.2.1 on my mac si and the monochrome xserver.

I've 2 problems with the console under X:

- The console cannot be redirected in a X console window when I'm not
root. (I've set the setuid and the setgid of xconsole to root and
anybody can write on the console).

- Even if X manages to open a X console (when I'm root), after a su
root, message are sent both in the X console window and on the screen,
which scroll the screen.

Thanks for any answers.
