By kernel hardeners, I presume you mean special kernel patches that help
add extra security. Usually they help prevent certain exploits such as
buffer overflows, or restricting what can be created in certain
directories, and some even prevent root from doing certain things, thus
minimizing the amount of damage that can be done if a machine is
compromised.

+ Could someone please explain exactly what it is that kernel hardeners, like
+ Bastille Linux (am I right? Is it a kernel hardener?) do on the system. I've
+ read into it a bit, but not in any great depth. I'll go and check out the
+ bastille-linux domain you gave me.
