1 Actually, now that you mention it, I don't think the vanilla sources for
2 2.4.25 have uac_sysctl. That would be useful. The rest, I don't know.
3 Didn't notice. And I'm not familiar with some of them.

24 Hehe:-) Ok, I will help you if you help me. I saw your e-mail address
25 and it seems you are working at hp. The source for alpha's! I need more
26 alphas!:-)) EV67 or newer would be cool. So you send me a board and a
27 processor (or even better dual) and I will answer your question*BIG

34 No kidding! If you are happy with vanilla-source I think you won't
35 profit from alpha-sources. But it will contain almost the same thing as
36 alpha-sources 2.4.21:
37
38 - xfs (useless with 2.4.25)
39 - grsecurity
40 - usagi
41 - cryptoloop-jari
42 - superfreeswan
43 - uac_sysctl
44 - forgot something?
45
46 Where usagi and superfreeswan are exclusive
47
48 Additionally I will add acl's (ea+acl+nfsacl) to the tree, because I
49 think it's also a very useful security feature.
