Have a look into the manpage of init(8) for the backgrounds. Then you can edit /etc/rc.conf and change the value for kern_securelevel. But have a look into /etc/rc, there's a line (line 624 on my box) con- taining "in [ "${kern_securelevel}" -ge 0 ]; then". The lines below this line raise the securelevel, if the value is 0 or greater. But if I set kern_securelevel="0" (in /etc/rc.conf), the securelevel raises up to 1. So I changed in /etc/rc, line 624 the "ge" into "gt" and I got X started. At this time I don't understand correctly the behaviour of /etc/rc. Perhaps this is a bug? Any comments? Hope, this helps.
