Hi, We are moving away from the /etc/malloc.conf symbolic link to a new sysctl:
$ sysctl vm.malloc_conf vm.malloc_conf=C This will allow unveiled and chrooted processes to access the malloc options without having to do anything special in the code or chroot dir. As I often get this question: for some extra protection, use C or CJ, accept some performance impact. For development, bug hunting and/or extra securty use S, with more performance impact. Note that with default options, malloc already has quite some protection features. Upcoming snapshots will contain this. -Otto
