I was wondering what gentoo-users think and practice about kernel modules. Do most compile them in the kernel or load them at boot-up.
I have heard a security argument made that it is safer to compile everything into the kernel, and disable support for modules entirely. The reason for this is that if someone can load malicious modules on your system they can basically circumvent any security systems you are using, including things like SELinux and grsec. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
