Hello,

The manual page for securelevel says that secure level 3 provides the same
functionality as secure level 2 plus the protection of pf/ipf/ipfw against
modification. Since pf/ipf/ipfw protection is an addition, I assume that it
should not be present with secure level 2. For some reason that's not the
reality.

gater# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 5(operator)
gater# uname -rs
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5
gater# sysctl kern.securelevel
kern.securelevel: 2
gater# pfctl -F all
pfctl: pfctl_clear_rules: Operation not permitted
gater#

Is there a bug in the documentation or in the implementation of secure level?
Or perhaps, did I misinterpret something?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
