	Hi everybody!

	Has anyone noticed that you cannot start X server in 2.2.1
	once you have switched the system security level to 1?
	This is due to the ioctl KDENABIO now returning the error
	"Operation not permitted" (in xf86OpenConsole) when the security
	level is above zero.
	This may have been a well intended but not very good change,
	because now the X server cannot be started after the boot time,
	and if one has to start it later for some reason, one has to
	reboot the whole system to get the security level down to 0 for
	a while. I would prefer a less restrictive  approach to the
	security by enabling KDENABIO only for root at any time when
	security level is less than 2.


	Cheers,
