Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

The SECure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatil- memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.

When the SECure flag is set to on, autoboot and autosearch are enabled and cannot be stopped. The system boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.

To display the current setting for the SECure flag, enter the following com- mand:

secure

To set the SECure flag on or off, enter one of the following:

secure on

secure off
