What are the "pax-linux" patches?
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 5:51 amHi,
I'm an old (2003) grsec user, I can even see my old posts in this forum
(but I've just registered a new user account). Glad to see the project is alive!
I'm about to install grsec-2.2.2-2.6.39.2 in a Debian box. At the downloads page, I see the usual suspects (the kernel patch and gradm) but there's also a bunch of "pax-linux-*-test*.patch". What are these? I see they don't apply to a kernel tree already patched with grsec. Searching for "pax-linux" in the forum returned 0 results so I'm at a loss.
