My FreeBSD installation (also using XFree86 3.3.6) sets up like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 May 11 11:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> XF86_SVGA -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3482353 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA -rws--x--x 1 root wheel 7573 May 11 11:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1652 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/startx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10344 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
As you can see only the "trusted" Xwrapper executable is SUID. But Xwrapper is missing from my Debian potato installation..
