In article <199810102001.QAA13869@jupiter.cs.uml.edu> you write:

Not only that, but with secure levels, the super-user flags can't be set unless you've rebooted single-user...
Allowing to change them from under linux without some corresponding secure mechanism would mean that you couldn't trust these flags, and the corresponding log files/bsd password files as well...
