Date: 31 Jul 1996 00:04:36 GMT Organization: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lines: 27 Message-ID: <4tm7uk$1me@overload.lbl.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: gracie.lbl.gov I have a question on setting securitylevel under FreeBSD. Here is what I did: # sysctl kern.securelevel kern.securelevel = -1 ??? should be = 1 ??? # sysctl -w kern.securelevel=2 kern.securelevel: -1 -> 2 #cat > /etc/xxx # sysctl -w kern.securelevel=5 kern.securelevel: 2 -> 5 # cat > /etc/xxx The disk is still writeable. If I remember correctly, when the security level is greater (higher) than 1, the entire system is read only. So, does any one know if securitylevel works in FreeBSD?
