Sorry to bother you,

I did a shutdown now, went into single user, went to /etc/rc.conf and
changed kern.securelevel to 1, rebooted back into multiuser mode and it said
Operation Not permitted, I also tried using sysctl -w kern.securelevel=1 and
it said operation not permitted, any other ideas?

Thanks,
-Drew

Sounds like you are at security level 2 or greater.  Check your
rc.conf file.  If at 2, reboot into single user, edit rc.conf,
reboot to multiple user.

Security level 2 and 3 restrict time changes to less than 1 second.

Your message is the exact message documented in init(8)
