Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I was browsing the hardened gentoo website and attempting to configure ACL |
| 7 |
and grSecurity in my kernel and of course have a few questions. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. What is the difference between the hardened kernel sources and compiling |
| 10 |
grSecurity and ACL support into the gentoo-sources? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2. Are there any known options in grSecurity that break gentoo? The reason |
| 13 |
why I ask is because I attempted to follow the directions for enabling |
| 14 |
grSecurity and something I enabled broke devfs.. when booting it dies with |
| 15 |
some vfree() calls. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
3. My goal is to create a secure gentoo server. What is the best way to go |
| 18 |
about this? I orginialy just compiled a gentoo system to get it all working, |
| 19 |
then I got dns, mail and what not working.. barely.. Is it better to go |
| 20 |
"secure" from the beginning? (For example I noticed stuff about bootstrapping |
| 21 |
with ProPolice.. something I didn't do |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
4. I don't know too much of the details of linux or security .. this stuff |
| 24 |
kind of confuses me. Don't kill me or anything.. but I am comming from a |
| 25 |
windows MFC / Win32API background. However I want to learn (and help if I |
| 26 |
can). I have a particular learning style though.. It seems the only way I |
| 27 |
can learn is "Here is how you do it, now here is why, and finnaly here is |
| 28 |
about 50 examples of how to do it" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
any guidence on grSecurity and such would be a great help. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Thank you, |
| 33 |
Steve |
