[-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Attachment #2 --] Would someone suggest where to find information on the various kernel security levels available in 4.2 RELEASE ? I'm having trouble getting apache to start ..... it keeps giving error messages saying "httpd could not start" & fully qualified domain name could not be found" (the machine does have a public IP & FQDN) I don't recall having to mess with httpd.conf in earlier versions of FreeBSD, so I'm wondering if maybe the kernel security level is somehow responsible . It looks like ipfw is installed, posibly by default when the higher security levels are requested (theres what looks like an "ipfw" executable), "ipfw' spits out a page full of stuff, but theres nothing about "ipfw" in "rc.conf I can't find anything that looks like a config file (maybe not relevant to ipfw ??), "man ipfw" doesn't help because its pretty vague, & the handbook isn't much better. I've tried running "ipfw -a", "ipfw -t", "ipfw -N" plus combinations thereof, but they don't appear to do anything. rc.conf has kern_securelevel="2" & kern_securelevel_enable="YES"
