grsecurity forums

Hi,

I have problem installing gradm2.
I have the latest 2.4.29 kernel installed with only grsecurity patch applied.

Every time I try to make install gradm2 following error appears.

mkdir -p /sbin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 gradm /sbin
/usr/bin/strip /sbin/gradm
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0700 grlearn /sbin
/usr/bin/strip /sbin/grlearn
mkdir -p -m 700 /etc/grsec
mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man8
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0644 gradm.8 /usr/share/man/man8/gradm.8
Could not open /dev/grsec.
open: No such device or address

make: *** [install] Error 1

Could somebody please tell me, where can be the problem.

Thank You

Ivan

Boot kernel image with grsecurity.

mknod /dev/grsec c 1 12

grsec kernel is loaded already and /dev/grsec exists as well.
gradm is on its place (/sbin/gradm)
but still can not open /dev/grsec

Did you enable grsecurity in your kernel configuration?

There was the problem. I must have replaced the old .config file by mistake.

Thank you all for your time.
