The default seems to be the lowest possible setting of -1, but I don't see any obvious reason why I can't run at +1. What levels do you all run your systems at normally? I've already been warned that X servers won't run on a machine at secure_level=1, but for me that's just another reason not to use X servers on the host machine, not a reason to keep the secure_level lower.
