Hi there,
i want to have rhel5 kernel + pax but i can't find older patches for 2.6.18. Can anyone give me any hints with this?

Generally, it is best to stay current. Is there a reason you need to use a 2.6.18 kernel with RHEL5? If not, you should consider using the most current kernel for which a stable GRsecurity / PaX patch is available.

Generally yes, but if after putting a new kernel with latest patches and then i have to change more of the services on the server then, it's best to install a new one rather then rebuilding it all over.

what kernel changes require you to change userland?

I guess on rhel5 almost none (or iptables ) but, if i want that on rhel4 then most probably udev, iptables and others.

i see, but i think iptables should be backwards compatible with older kernels (so that you can still boot the old one in case of problems), however i'm not sure about udev. i was actually more interested in the services that fail on a newer kernel.
