 You can still use `xdm' or a similar way of starting X11, because
 it will be started by init(8) before the securelevel is raised by
 the `/etc/rc.d/securelevel' script.
 
 I don't think this is worth mentioning in security(7), because
 we can't possibly document *ALL* the possible things that can
 fail with a bumped securelevel.
