(I sent this to grsecurity mailing list as well, i'm desperately seeking input. Yes, I run gentoo)
I'm running kernel 2.6.10, with the as2 patch, with grsecurity 20050124 patch. I've been thrilled with it using it here on a server, except for one problem i've run into. Proftpd keeps segfaulting , that is, signal 11 (SIGSEGV). It worked fine for all of today, up till a while ago (while I was at lunch, of course :P ), then clients could not log in, their FTP sessions were immediately closed. Logs show many lines similar to: grsec: From 192.168.1.128: signal 11 sent to /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:386] uid/euid:0/1001 gid/egid:407/407, parent /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:29018] Now, does this mean grsecurity sent that signal? Or is this just the signal logging? I repeatedly stopped proftpd and started it back up, and kept getting the same problem. I rebooted to 2.6.10, and I am not having this problem, but needless to say I'm very nervous. Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
