Hi,

The page https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html contains 
the phrase:

>       • Edit /etc/ttys and change off to on and dialup to vt100 for the ttyu0 
> entry. Otherwise, a password will not be required to connect via the serial 
> console, resulting in a potential security hole.

This is not correct anymore for the latest release, and even then it is not the 
best way to describe what should be done. Better would be to state what the 
line should be so that it is immediately clear what has to happen.

The latest Release now has the following line in /etc/ttys:

> ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   onifconsole secure

This does not even need any changing.

Regards,
Jeroen.
