And that's not the point. :-) Basically, we're being asked to compensate for poor conduct on the part of an administrator who changed the securelevel without knowing what he was doing. We can't compensate for poor change control in our documentation. This is akin to documenting in the manual pages of _every_ utility that writes to some file in the /var hierarchy, that the /var filesystem must not be mounted read-only. Let's just close the PR already. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
