"man msec" might give you some details, but the details really don't
matter. choose any one security level when you install, then immediately
after the install run "msec custom" as root. you'll get to answer a lot
of detailed questions about just how you want your system set up - this
is much better than relying on any of the canned sets of answers that
make up the different levels you see at install time.
