top stopped working for non root
(it worked for non root on FBSD 4.3 install)
there is nothing in README or UPDATING about any change.

 top
kvm_open: /dev/kmem: Permission denied

on FBSD 4.3:
ls -l /dev/kmem
crw-r-----  1 root  kmem    2,   1 Apr 21  2001 /dev/kmem
ls -l /usr/bin/top
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem  32760 Dec  4 16:11 /usr/bin/top

on FBSD 4.4 (I had to add chgrp kmem and +r on group)
so, is top an undocumented problem? or did the MAKEDEV mess up, forget to
chgroup kmem and g+r?

 ls -l /usr/bin/top
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem  32904 Dec 27 14:39 /usr/bin/top
ls -l /dev/kmem
crw-------  1 root  wheel    2,   1 Dec 28 15:37 /dev/kmem
