+************************** I M P O R T A N T ****************************
+
+This package (kdebase2) installs a program called kcheckpass which is
+used by kdm or screensavers to check the user's password.  This activity
+requires it to be setuid root.  However, for security reasons, FreeBSD
+leaves the setuid bit on this binary off by default, for several reasons.
+First, some people may not use screensavers or kdm at all.  Second,
+others may choose to use a different screensaver or display manager
+utility.  And finally, there may be holes in kcheckpass which can be
+exploited to gain root privileges.  FreeBSD chooses not to take that risk
+with the default package.  If you decide that you need it setuid root,
+you can make it so:
+
+	chmod u+s ${PREFIX}/bin/kcheckpass
+
+..where ${PREFIX} is the prefix where this package was installed.  It is
+typically /usr/local but may also be /usr/X11R6 or /usr.
