>Description:

Whilst writing a regression test-suite for further kauth(9) work I
stumbled across this bug.

When the securelevel is set to 2 and the superuser tries to set the
time backwards (which should fail: Operation not permitted) the 'date'
program hangs.

The revisions where this bug appeared are:

src/lib/libc/sys/settimeofday.c rev 1.3
src/sys/kern/kern_time.c rev 1.29

If there's any more information you think I should include, please let me know.


>How-To-Repeat:
sysctl -w kern.securelevel=2
date <a date in the past>

The program will hang
