Hi people, I'm sorry if this is a well known issue, feel free to redirect me to a Fine Manual.
I'm installing a new server with the hardened profile, a PaX enabled kernel (PAGEEXEC) and a little of grsecurity. The cpu is a recent intel celeron with NX bit and 64bit extensions (whatever that means). I was wondering if the PAGEEXEC feature of PaX is able to detect and transparently use the NX bit or if it's enabled for some particular architectures only... I've compiled the kernel for pentium3 and built the system with -march=pentium3. Best regards, Pedro Venda. -- Pedro João Lopes Venda email: pjvenda at pjvenda org http://www.pjvenda.org
