i've tried the new grsecurity[0] and have a few problems:

but there are nearly all pax options set (also quite all grsec options):

Code: Select all

# zgrep PAX /proc/config.gz

# CONFIG_PAX_SOFTMODE is not set
# CONFIG_PAX_EI_PAX is not set

# CONFIG_PAX_RANDEXEC is not set

- kernel was 2.6.7 vanilla with valied signature vom kernel.org.
- grsec patch has also a valied signature.
- grsecpatch applies without errors
- kernel compiles without errors
- system is a actual debian SID.

But where is the fault?
Any suggestions what to do?

if you want the PT_PAX_FLAGS marking then you'll need the binutils patch as well, else use EI_PAX.

thx... i've enabled EI_PAXand everthing is working fine, ... thx
