Hi there, I don't think it's BSD's securelevel that is causing this. I would suggest that you look at /var/log/httpd-error.log (or wherever you're keeping your error log) as this is definitely an apache error. In particular, take a look at the 'ServerName' directive in the httpd.conf file. - Marc On Wed, Nov 29, 2000 at 10:29:35PM +1000, Doug Young wrote: > > Would someone suggest where to find information on the various kernel security levels available in 4.2 RELEASE ?
