grsecurity forums

i was running grsec with 2.6.16.x for a while and had no problems ... but i just upgraded to 2.6.17.x and now i'm getting this crap:

grsec: failed fork with errno -513 by /sbin/udevd[udevd:31008] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0, parent /sbin/init[init:1] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

it isnt just udev, my logs over the last few days show many other applications with the same error

it is caused by that option, disable it for now until spender fixes the reporting code.

It's been fixed, along with VMware module compilation, in the latest patch on the main page.
