I guess it's a feature. 'man 8 init'. Anyway, there are a lot more
things you can't do at securelevel >= 1; installing a new kernel or
world, for instance, since they involve overwriting immutable files.

I guess you'd want to run your terminal server at securelevel 2, and
use X terminals (or diskless workstations) instead of logging on
directly on your server.
