Hello all, I recently upgraded to 4.2-RELEASE, and I accepted the default "medium" security. All was well until I tried loading a kernel module, and running X. I discovered that medium security implies a kernel security level of 1, instead of 0. Does anyone know where this is stored? I changed the value in rc.conf from 1 to 0, and now I get two messages (almost sequentially) Changing kern.securelevel from -1 -> 0 Changing kern.securelevel from 0 -> 1 If I turn the setting off, it stays at -1. I thought about just leaving it disabled and writing a script that runs from rc.d that sets it explicitly, but I would like to know how to fix it the "right" way.
