This doesn't mean anything to me. It was just a suggestion for a kernel config opt. BSDI and NetBSD uses INSECURE, but this convention would surprise many people.

I'd like to be able to configure systems such that you can't change the flags unless you are in single user mode even if you're root. Regards, Mike Hancock
