+Used to run a program as if it were a setuid process. The only valid value
+is @samp{1} as this tunable can only be used to set and not unset
+@code{enable_secure}. Setting this tunable to @samp{1} also disables all other
+tunables. This tunable is intended to facilitate more extensive verification
+tests for @code{AT_SECURE} programs and not meant to be a security feature.
