Hmmm... How about having rc raise the securelevel (can't we do this
already with sysctl(1)?) before running programs that need securelevel
raised for whatever reason. After rc exits, init can check to see if
the securelevel is still at 0, and if so, raises it to 1 (in fact, it
appears to do this already, and the manpage for init(1) suggests that
rc should raise securelevel if you want a securelevel of 2).
