> I think the man page says flags can only be unset in single user mode.

Yes and no...
This unset behavior IS mentioned in secmodel_securelevel(9) [thanks Jan]
But not that I can see in chflags(1)

yes, I am currently at kern.securelevel=1

I think I might be able to temporarily set
kern.securelevel=-1 in sysctl.conf
reboot
Maybe disconnect from the internet while doing so?...
strip these flags
then return to normal operation...


I'll need to wait until after office hours for this experiment... :)
