I have installed, successfully, FreeBSD 11.0 CURRENT (standard kernel) with MATE. All worked and IS working fine. My idea was to satisfy basic needs : print, scan, web life (... why not all in the same time !). After same core-file which didn't affect the system, I tryed to follow a BSDGuides- Hardening FreeBSD (2005 ??!). Almost all worked as expected but kern_securelevel in rc.conf gave me same troubles. As I said "I am a beginner". A quick look in the "main" book online in the main site and I understood my problem. Inspite of the big red warning in the book, I opened a xterm and I wrote : sysctl kern_securelevel=0. I worked for a while and I decided to modify rc.conf: reboot and trouble. Again modified rc.conf as was before: all fine. with the idea to crash the system I send a command: sysctl kern_securelevel=1. I have been working for 5 hours (stressing as possible the system). Has someone else had similar experience ? I wouldn't have expected any better. I have a long experience with GNU/Linux DEBIAN and I am not afraid to read; I really appreciate links or suggestions hoping not to bore no one. Many Thanks to all in advance. Sal.
