I don't mean this in a bad way, grsecurity seems to boost kernel > security quite a bit Meanwhile you don't enable the RBAC part of the grsecurity patch you can use SELinux with the grsecurity patch. grsecurity-RBAC is the grsecurity's alternative to SELinux, which I find far easier and user-friendly to use than SELinux. Here is a nice to read paper [1] comparing both grsecurity-RBAC and SELinux. There has been some people pushing for adding a grsecurity featureset (flavor) to the official Debian kernel. [2] Perhaps some of you would like to show your support or help pushing for it in order to make it happen, I definitively would love to see a linux-image-grsecurity in Debian :) Regards! --------- [1] http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~jcg8f/SELinux%20grsecurity%20paper.pdf [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605090 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez http://neutrino.es Igalia - Free Software Engineering http://www.igalia.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
