/usr/share/doc/msec-0.19/security.txt tells you what the levels are. You
probably want msec 2 ('normal system').
It's possible that the permissions on /tmp have got messed up. After
fiddling around with Bastille and various other things I couldn't start
X, then found that the permissions were wrong; a quick msec 2 reset
them, allowed various temporary files to be written, and everything
started OK.
