No, you don't need to install anything. This message simply says that since SEC is running with a controlling terminal, and you can't use SIGINT signal for changing the logging level. A short explanation -- when a process runs in a terminal window and the user presses ^C, the SIGINT signal is sent to the process. The default behavior for the process at the reception of SIGINT is to terminate at once (that's why you can use ^C for terminating programs you have started). When SEC is running *without* controlling terminal (usually when it is in daemon mode), SIGINT can't be used in the way described above. In that case, SEC installs a custom handler for this signal -- if the end user sends this signal to SEC with the 'kill -INT <process_id>' command, SEC increases it's logging verbosity level. I hope I was able to clarify this issue. In short, this is a harmless message which just tells that since there is a controlling terminal, you can still use ^C for terminating SEC if you like.
