 I agree that the old behaviour was a bug, and the setting of the
sysctl being able to show the old info is only so that people can 
continue to run old scripts.

the several levels of security that are in one version of the script
are, I think, a little too much..  I'd just like one sysctl to enable
it, and after  a while we swap the default, and then after a bit more
time we remove it...
