It still does, AFAIK.  At least on my 7.0-CURRENT installations
here, the security(7) manpage does.  It seems you remember back
when the securelevel documentation was in the init(8) manpage.
This changed a while ago, when the `securelevel' explanation was
moved from init(8) to security(7).

securelevel doc?

2006-01-22 Thread Joel Hatton
Hi,

I may be confused, but istr that man security[7] used to document the
results of different kernel securelevels; this no longer seems to be the
case. Is this still documented in the base system without recourse to
online help? (I'm OK with securelevels, btw, I'd just like to know where
to point someone to this information)

cheers,

 Hi,
 
 I may be confused, but istr that man security[7] used to document the
 results of different kernel securelevels; this no longer 
 seems to be the
 case. Is this still documented in the base system without recourse to
 online help? (I'm OK with securelevels, btw, I'd just like to

I'd point to:

man security
man securelevel = man init
man sysctl

in this order.  On my 5.3 system (the oldest I have running) the
securelevels aren't fully explained until man init.  I don't know about
4.x.
