You have to lower the security level. You can't lower the security level on a running system, so you have to reboot. > Could anybody help me out? Well, if you set the security level "by hand" on the running system, just reboot. If you set it in /etc/rc.conf or some such, you'll have to reboot to single user mode, "mount -u /", then undo whatever you did to enable the higher security level. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
