8d3cfc6184 So there is where that handbook paragraph came from. Kill it here too.
Remove a paragraph about over building security, it's a bit off.

Discussed with: des, FreeBSD-security

ff8a6926d9 When securelevel is >= 1, /dev/io may not be opened at all (not just for
write).  Update the securelevel description to match this.

52fc88b53b apropos(1) does not expand *roff macros that should appear in .Nd
text and, as a result, 'FreeBSD' is not visible in apropos output
when security(7) is displayed.  Fix this buglet by using a
literal 'FreeBSD' string in .Nd

e17c0e3256 Moved descriptions of securelevels from init(7) to security(7).
Files used both "securelevel" and either "secure level" or
"security level"; all are now "security level".

4c0d8029dc "in in" is not always wrong (backout 1.18).

47afd1f81e Effect the correct use of "affect".
Use em dashes instead of " - ".

Use .Em instead of *emphasis*.

Note that securing root indirectly (by securing staff accounts) works
only if direct root access has been limited. [1]

s/hacker/attacker, as done in the handbook. (inspired by [1])

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...
