It is considered rude to take discussions off the mailing list unless it has been agreed upon beforehand -- I have added [EMAIL PROTECTED] back in to the CC. Additionally, top-posting is discouraged on these mailing lists. I have corrected the format and responded in-line below. Additionally, you seemed to have ignored my request to format your emails better by wrapping your lines. In any event, you can't lower the securelevel on a running system -- that would defeat the purpose. Modify the setting in /etc/rc.conf and reboot your system. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
