The latest -CURRENT automatically raises the kernel security level after
booting, this means you can only do some operations (e.g. types of chflags) when
in single user mode (when the secure level is -1 ;_)

Have a look at /etc/rc

"
if [ "X${kern_securelevel_enable}" != X"NO" -a "${kern_securelevel}" -ge 0 ];
then
        echo 'Raising kernel security level'
        sysctl -w kern.securelevel=${kern_securelevel}
fi
"

Putting:

kern_securelevel_enable="NO" 

Into your /etc/rc.conf should do the trick...

Regards,

Karl
