That's fine. > i tried set it back to 0 or -1 ..but it wouldnt let me. Right. That's the point of securelevels. If it could be changed without rebooting, it wouldn't be much use for security. > is it safe to reboot the system with the sysctl -w kern.securelevel > variable set to -1 ..AFTER the OS has just done a make buildworld ? and > then just pickup where i left off ?? The buildworld should work fine in raised securelevels. Installing (kernels or the rest of the "world") won't, but that's one of the reasons you usually want to do those things in single-user mode. It's quite acceptable (and common) to do the buildworld with the high securelevel and then reboot to continue with the installation. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
