>Description:
quoting init(8) man page :
If it is desired to run the system in level 0 mode while multiuser, the
administrator must build a kernel with the variable securelevel defined
in the file /sys/arch/compile/MACHINE/param.c and initialize it to -1.
this is definitively wrong. There is no 'securelevel' variable defined in
param.c, and the rigth way to do this is to use 'options INSECURE' in the
kernel config file.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 8 init
>Fix:
replace the quoted part by a description of 'options INSECURE' in
src/sbin/init/init.8
