Description
The command is an interactive facility that allows you to enable the enhanced security features on your system. You must first have loaded
the enhanced security subset onto your system before running the command.

lines to this file if they aren't already present. You can run while the system is in multiuser mode (however, some inconsistencies may

# /usr/etc/sec/secsetup
