hi, i've just finished work on a security patch for the 2.4.1 linux kernel. it's mainly a port of some of the features from solar designer's openwall patch for 2.2, so credit goes to him for most of the original code. I've added the feature that is similar to openbsd which only allows users in group 10(wheel) to setuid() to another user. it logs any failed attempts. The patch so far is in beta stage, it hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, so i'd like to hear your input, what worked, what didn't (if it worked at all), and what you'd like to see added to it. you can download the patch off http://www.getrewted.net in the downloads section. thanks. -spender
