            Bug ID: 204918
           Summary: Serial console instruction out of date (/etc/ttys
                    differ)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: kwia...@panic.pl

Handbook states that in order to enable login via serial console one must edit
/etc/ttys:

"3. 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 necessary because of "onifconsole". Tested on 10.2 but this flag
was introduced with 9.3.
