Here's the /etc/security/msec directory:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jul 10 11:47 security.conf*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           27 Jul 10 11:05 server -> 
/etc/security/msec/server.4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          193 Mar  7 06:41 server.4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          104 Mar  7 06:41 server.5

And env says SECURE_LEVEL=4.  From that directory though, I can't see the 
correct way to set it lower than 4.  I don't think you can just change the 
variable (I can 'export SECURE_LEVEL=1', but it doesn't change the perl 
behavior).
