Hello, 
I got no answer till now and it seems that I failed to exlpain
in previous posting that root is not allowed to modify any files
in /usr/local/etc. As this is my first expierience with freebsd, I would
like to know is there any other posibility to protect some files
except setting kernel's security level !=-1 ? 

TIA,
	Eugene.
