I run a server with securelevel set to 1. According to the man page for init, when securelevel is set to something greater than 0, then init arrange it so that securelevel is 0 when running single user, and then set to whatever you have in your /etc/rc.conf file when running multi user. I noticed that this is no longer the case, shouldn't the man page be updated to reflect the new situation? Why is init no longer allowed to decrease the securelevel? It's rather inconvenient to edit /etc/rc.conf and set kern_securelevel_enable to NO and subsequently reboot the machine in order to do a buildworld followed by an installworld. This is by the way on RELENG_3 (3.5-STABLE). Cvsup ran today just prior to today's first attempt to do a buildworld. After editing the /etc/rc.conf and rebooting, the buildworld runs just fine. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.5-S & Pine 4.31 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
