>Description:
After using /stand/sysinstall to set security level to "high," 
kern_securelevel="2" is added to /etc/rc.conf.  

If /stand/sysinstall is later used to set security level to "moderate,"
kern_securelevel="2" is not overridden, thus the kernel security level
remains at 2.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use /stand/sysinstall to set security level to "high," then use
/stand/sysinstall to set security level to "moderate."
>Fix:
Manually edit /etc/rc.conf to set kern_securelevel to the 
desired level.
