[mod-security-users] modsecurity reliability on new linux version

[Yi Li <yi...@gm...>]

hi, I am running modsecurity on Redhat AS 5.4 (kernel verion
2.6.18-164.2.1.el5PAE).
the binary was compiled on Redhat AS 5.3 (kernel verion  2.6.18-128....).
it seems to start properly and I do not see abnormal error message in debug
log (set debug level to 1).

one obvious mis-behavior is that I configure it to DetectionOnly mode for
all rules, but the rules (core rule set) are still dropping connections.

I can recompile the source on the new kernel, here is some questions, will
appreciate help:

1. for my configuration, if the kernel does not support the modsecurity
binary, should I be able to find any trace in any of the log files,
including redhat logs?

2. does modsecurity 2.5.9 support Redhat AS 5.4 (kernel verion
2.6.18-164...)?

thanks.
