In case of the former, it should work. In case of the latter, you should try the former. For the sake of the archives, setting kern_securelevel to -1 in /etc/rc.conf should also work if you can't get to single user mode (no console access). Just remember to change it back when you're done. Hope this helps -- Dima Dorfman <dima@unixfreak.org> Finger dima@unixfreak.org for my public PGP key. If only God would give me some clear sign!
