I recently install 4.3 FBSD an i noticed you have the option of picking
"type of security"   i chose "extreme"  and all it really does is add
kern_securelevel="2"
kern_securelevel_enable="YES"

to the /etc/rc.conf  file.....my question is what advantages as far as
security does this offer ??   I also installed IPFW w/ NAT  and a few other
measures to keep unwanted THINGS at bay...

im unclear as to what the kern security offers >??
TIA
thanx
Brent
