Log Message:
When downgrading from 'highly secure' mode (securelevel >= 2) to 'insecure'
mode (securelevel 0) and the root password is set, always require it before
giving a shell on the console. Reasoning: if an attacker has access to the
machine console, he doesn't necessarily have access to the hardware itself; on
a 'highly secure' machine, we may as well make his life hard.
