The commands "apropos securelevel" and "man -k securelevel" don't turn
up the documentation of this important setting, which is frequently
asked about. It's actually documentd in a nonintuitive place: the
man page for init(8). The user should be guided to the correct pages --
init(8) and security(7) -- when investigating this setting.

 It's now documented in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, where there are a couple of
 knobs to tweak, and an explicit reference to init(8).
 
 I could also add an explicit
 
     MLINKS=	init.8 securelevel.8
 
 in the Makefile for init, so that "man 8 securelevel" worked.
 
 Thoughts?

 The link would help! And maybe a crossreference to "security" (whichever
 chapter it's in; I forget offhand).

 I also agree:
 the link to securelevel.8 is good.
 
 Please commit (and/or close this PR).
