% Lock the sysctl(8) knobs that turn ip{,6}fw(8) firewalling and
% firewall logging on and off when at elevated securelevel(8). It would
% be nice to be able to only lock these at securelevel >= 3, like rules
% are, but there is no such functionality at present. I don't see reason
% to be adding features to securelevel(8) with MAC being merged into 5.0.
