Re: Setting date with securelevel over 1
Hmmm In my rc.conf file I have: kern_securelevel_enable=NO already in there and I still can't adjust the date. Any ideas?

The easiest is to turn it off in rc.conf and reboot, set the time, turn it back on and reboot. You are limited to deltas of 1 second in the secure mode. It doesn't take a big change before rebooting is much quicker. If you have a fulltime network, you can run ntp to keep it on time.

Re: Setting date with securelevel over 1
It returns securelevel -1 but when I run date -v +1H It displays the correct date only immediately after that command. If I type in date right after that the time returns to the wrong time, one hour behind the real time. Could it be a daylight savings setting someplace? Any other ideas?

What does sysctl kern.securelevel return? If it's not '-1' then either you need to reboot to bring that rc.conf setting into effect or you need to work out what is overriding the usual mechanisms for setting securelevel in your boot process.

The -v adjusts it but doesn't set it. The only examples for actually setting the date are The command: date 8506131627 sets the date to ``June 13, 1985, 4:27 PM''. The command: date 1432 sets the time to 2:32 PM, without modifying the date. Kent Any other ideas?
