hiding processes
Fawad its the same patch that i was talking about .. there is another one too which can be found at .. http://www.lids.org .. but the problem is that i fear rebuilding the kernel cuz i might screw it up.. well ill try it if there is no other option.. tell me one thing.. that my kernel is allready configured up working pretty well .. so when i rebuild my kernel i have to select all options frm again ( the ones that r being used) or only the things i need to change..
hashoo, no you don't have to select the options again. First of all, keep the orginal kernel in case you might need it later. From the source directory of the old install, copy the .config file to the new source directory. You will obviously have to specify the options for grsec but the old configs will get picked up by the config program.
