+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
