The purpose of securelevel 0 is that it is automatically raised to 1 when the system goes multi-user. If you don't want it to be raised, use securelevel -1. The auto-raise behavior is the only difference between -1 and 0; they are both "insecure". -- Matthew Hunt <mph@pobox.com> * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
