In Reply to: [gentoo-hardened] iptables versus grSecurity runtime module disabling by "René Rhéaume"
1 Isn't that expected behavior?. Sysctl settings are activated on the
2 boot runlevel. Setting kernel.grsecurity.disable_modules to 1 will
3 disable loading modules. Of course loading modules afterwards will
4 fail.
