Sorry - I never saw any followups to the post and I didn't
spot any when I searched the archive.

Most security knobs are useless if you have ddb enabeled and a key
mapped to get into the debugger. Though, I guess it is more relivant
here 'cos at least you should be able to use this to stop someone
mapping that key.

I'll document it as soon as people have figured out what the correct
spot is, but I guess at least the kbdcontrol man page needs to mention
this.
