>Description:
the securelevel check in kern_time.c is non-intuitive.  This should be documented somewhere people would look when realizing they are unable to set the date.  date(1) is probably the best candidate.
>How-To-Repeat:
sysctl -w kern.securelevel=2
gdate --set blah
>Fix:
sys/kern/kern_time.c checks securelevel > 1 before allowing date changes higher than 1 second.
