Hi, Does apache-scalp.c work against your OpenBSD or FreeBSD system or not. Either way it would be nice to know that you have some signed_exec code acting as an additional security layer to stop unauthorized binaries if not by denial at least then warning of their existence in Real Time. Our signed_exec kernel patches for FreeBSD and OpenBSD are designed to stop the installation of root kits on a compromised system, regardless of the programming mistake or reason resulting in a compromise, the idea is to not allow a Trojaned binary to execute under the guise of a valid program, shared library or loadable kernel module. We have been working on OpenBSD and FreeBSD with intentions to also look at a GNU/Linux port and believe that there has been work underway for some time on NetBSD to do something similar.
