I installed FBSD 4.3 this weekend...and someting that was differetn during the install...was it asks what tyoe of securuty ya want.. LOW MED HIGH EXTREME i chose extreme ...the install went great afterward however i noticed with this option it seems once the system is up and running i was unable to get Xwindows to run giving me a "Operation Not permitted" error ..AND I wasnt able to add any devices...like i tried to add another harddrive.and everything seemed kewl till i tried mounting it.making me think a permissions issue hense the EXTREME security :-) anyway ...i turned down the security by changin it in /etc/rc.conf ..from kern_securelevel="2" kern_securelevel_enable="YES" to "0" & "NO" i rebooted and i was able to run xwindows ..as well as other things...My question is ..I want to run apache ..and make other changes to this machine..once i make the changes ..like install apache...can i bring the "kern_securelevel" back up to 2... and expect the apache to work ?? as well as the other changes i want to do ..like adding another drive.
