I'm not sure about some of the other posts, but that wasn't my |
| 7 |
intention. I believe the standard (and secure) UNIX way has always |
| 8 |
been to compile stuff yourself (i.e. in your home directory) and then |
| 9 |
su to root for the "make install". Basically I was just looking for a |
| 10 |
way to do that with emerge (i.e. calling "sudo" for the actual copy of |
| 11 |
files into /). That's what OpenBSD does, and they tend to set the |
| 12 |
example in secure practises. |

This should be easily doable without any kernel modules or other such magic. |
