Hi Ling Ling, Kernel secure level same as yours, -1. Left like that with the default to accept all in the kernel config & later to establish all security with rules set for rc.firewall & rc.conf. And you say you reinstalled entire freebsd again? Hate to do that if possible not to. Rather try to figure out how to fix it, but I may be forced to, now that all my experimenting & cvsup have been done. :-) Dennis --- Chan <llchan@eweb-asia.com> wrote: > Hi, dennis, > > Did you turn on the kernel securelevel? that's what happen to > my baby > (freebsd).
