freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at

completely rewritten. /proc restrictions have been redesigned, the IP
process correlation code has been improved, and gradm supports more
syslog applications.

Project description:
grsecurity is a complete security system for Linux 2.4 that implements
a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It prevents most forms
of address space modification, confines programs with least privilege
via its process-based MAC system, hardens syscalls, and provides many
of the OpenBSD randomness features. It was written for performance,
ease-of-use, and security. The MAC system has an intelligent
learning-mode, and all of grsecurity supports a feature that logs the
IP of the attacker that causes an alert or audit.

for me its ok to disable isa support. (and 386/486) also. i don't use them, and don't think a lot of people needs them. and yes, it hurts... why? because more code equals to more potential bugs...

We keep on getting questions about non working ISA equipment and then we suggest switching to PCI.
So I thought why no disable it at all?

But you're probably right, we loose users and actually it doesn't really hurt to have to support for it.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] VServer 0.22 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you of release '0.22' of 'VServer' through
freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/vserver/

The changes in this release are as follows:
A new kernel patch is available: kernel 2.4.19ctx-15. Now you can
exclude a few directories. Only the directory structure will be
copied. When cloning a vserver, you can generate new sshd private
keys. The IPROOT entry in the vserver configuration file now supports
one netmask per entry. A vserver does not use its own init process
unless fakeinit is used. When using vbuild to clone a vserver, you
can use the --excldir option repeatedly to exclude some files.

Project description:
VServer virtual servers operate like a normal Linux server, but allow
many independent servers to be run simultaneously in one box. These
can involve normal services such as telnet, mail, Web, and SQL
servers - in most cases using a standard configuration. The services
are unaware of the virtual server concept. Each virtual server has
its own user account database and root password. Each vserver uses
standard packages and runs at the same speed as a non-VServer
installation.

what do you mean with compile all the system?
I hope you don't use "make mrproper".
For your stuff a "make clean install iso" should be more then enough.
Ok, since we compile glibc ourselves, this also takes forever.

There are some shortcuts:
when you delete "tmp/.done_iso*" you can re-execute "make iso".
Just update the file in tmp/ETC and tmp/ISO manually. 
Don't work in those directories, only hold copies! You just need to execute a "make clean" and everything is gone.

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey guys,

unfortunately the XFS patches conflict with the GRSecurity patches.
Since I have not enough time to get that fixed after every update, the main DL ISO will have no XFS support anymore.

Don't get me wrong, the XFS stuff will remain in the build system and you still can create your own customized version with XFS.
