I've run into problems installing new kernels with a kernelsecure level of 2, but so far, the only way I've figured out to change the kernel secure level is to modify rc.conf, changing the secure level and rebooting the machine. How do i accomplish this without a reboot, or, if i am going at it all wrong, how do i rebuild the kernel of a machine with a kern.securelevel=2? TIA Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services Inc.
