Hardwires the kernel security level at \-1.
This means that the system
always runs in secure level \-1 mode, even when running multiuser.
Initializes the kernel security level with \-1 instead of 0.
This means that the system always starts in secure level \-1 mode, even when
running multiuser, unless the securelevel variable is set to value > \-1 in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf .
In this case the kernel security level will be raised to that value when the
.Pa /etc/rc.d/securlevel
script is run during system startup.
See the manual page for
.Xr init 8
for details on the implications of this.
