Sure. It is high security, it does not allow you (a malicious hacker) to
insert malicious module :/

Fredl, I think it is wrong to add it to preload. It has been discussed
already and now libmsec is activated only for servers (see daemon in
/etc/init.d/functions) if LIBSAFE=yes.

Do enable_libsec should actually just set LIBSAFE=yes not adding to
ld.so.preload.
