At least on my 7.0-CURRENT installations here, the security(7) manpage does. It seems you remember back when the securelevel documentation was in the init(8) manpage. This changed a while ago, when the `securelevel' explanation was moved from init(8) to security(7). | $ cd /usr/src/share/man/man7 | $ cvs log security.7 | | RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/share/man/man7/security.7,v | Working file: security.7 | head: 1.45 | [...] | | revision 1.44 | date: 2005/09/03 17:15:59; author: garys; state: Exp; lines: +63 -7 | Moved descriptions of securelevels from init(7) to security(7). | | Files used both "securelevel" and either "secure level" or | "security level"; all are now "security level". | | PR: docs/84266 | Submitted by: garys | Approved by: keramida | MFC after: 3 days
