like this: $ eu-readelf -l /bin/true | grep STACK GNU_STACK 0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x000000 0x000000 RW 0x4 (replace /bin/true with the binary or library you want to check) if it says "RW" like here, it'll have non-executable stack. If it says "RWX" or if this line is absent entirely, the stack will be executable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
