For Pitbull systems, what does
/tbin/setsecconfig -D0
do?

It enables/disables superuser root.  If I remember correctly (I might
be reversed) -D0 disables root's superuser privileges, which is the
'normal' operating mode for the OS.  -D1 enables root as superuser,
effectively bypassing the kernel-level separation of privileges.

Cheers,
Ben
