14 for what reason?
15
16 I mean, there seems to be an interest in it, not just him (and me, most
17 obviousely).
18
19 I guess most ppl who want to setup a vserver environment also want to be a
20 little bit *more* secure than the standard way - i'm thinking about grsec
21 here.
22
23 why isn't there an option to (by default) provide this to the vserver-sources
24 (or optional via hardened useflag that is enabled in a hardened profile
25 anyways?) - makes sense to me at least ;)
