Just to note now that the specific topic has come up, yes, I am aware of |
| 7 |
and have that kernel option set to disable module loading. I was simply |
| 8 |
focusing on userland side, and thus didn't believe the kernel option |
| 9 |
apropos to that specific discussion. Still, just having a module loading |
| 10 |
userland on the system doesn't /increase/ security, and in fact, it |
| 11 |
slightly decreases it, on a system where a deliberate choice has been |
| 12 |
made to turn kernel module loading functionality off. |
