 What you say here may lead to confusion. A monolithic kernel doesn't
give you added security toward a modular kernel. To make the kernel a
little bit more secure I'd use grsecurity (ie to prevent code injection,
syscall hijacking and so on).

 Just use modules if you like them.

 IMHO that's a "Good Thing"(TM).
