System: NetBSD abbor.viewmark.com 2.99.16 NetBSD 2.99.16 (ABBOR) #31: Wed Mar 2 15:10:32 MST 2005 toor@abbor.viewmark.com:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile.i386/ABBOR i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	I usually redirect the X server output to a file (startx > xlog 2>&1) 
	and I notice the password prompt is sent to the file instead of to the 
	terminal (/dev/tty).  Not a big deal, but it probably should be fixed.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Login and type:
	startx > xlog 2>&1
	wait until startx fails (a few seconds) and notice that the
	"Password:" prompt is in the xlog file.
>Fix:
	unknown
