i don't know exactly what you mean by fixed, but the ptrace fix was backported all the way to the 2.2.x series (and i think to the 2.0.x as well), as usual. 2.2's is 2.2.25. i don't mean to come off as snarky or obnoxious, it's just that your statement seemed unclear to me :). btw, anyone know if PPC kernels have had the grsec patch apply cleanly to mainline kernel.org source? as i use xfs fs, the patching is rather extensive, and i haven't had much luck with it. i spent more than a week trying to compile a grsec'd kernel, with freeswan (freeswan applied clean, as did xfs except for one very minor .rej). as this is my server box as well, until we can afford to get another machine, i need grsec to apply well :). i tried with debian kernel-source-2.4.20-*.deb as well; no go. though seeing from previous posts, the various issues i had are resolved, but PAX_* anything on PPC is unusable (all i get is "this is unsupported on this architecture"), and even with grsec turned off, i had problems writing to /tmp, including startup scripts. sorry for the long-winded possibly OT message O_O. cheers, eric -- UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ,''`. http://www.debian.org/ | http://www.nuit.ca/ : :' : Debian GNU/Linux | http://simonraven.nuit.ca/ `. `' | PGP key ID: 6169 BE0C 0891 A038 `- |
