If you don't know how or what or otherwise have questions, do not hesitate to ask via email (on this list or off list) or on IRC; for security reasons we really need to reduce this list to almost nothing. anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.13-1.i386 ./usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/loader/init: stack=RWE anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.13-1.i386 ./usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/loader/loader: stack=RWE libgcj-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/lib/libgcj.so.5.0.0: stack=RWE gcc-gnat-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/bin/gnatbind: stack=RWE gcc-gnat-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/bin/gnatls: stack=RWE gcc-gnat-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/bin/gnatmake: stack=RWE gcc-gnat-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/gnat1: stack=RWE libgnat-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386 ./usr/lib/libgnat-3.4.so.1: stack=RWE compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386 ./usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/gamma_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i810_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i915_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/mga_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r128_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so: stack=RWE xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-23.EL.i386 ./usr/X11R6/lib/libOSMesa.so.4.0: stack=RWE gstreamer-0.8.7-4.EL.0.i386 ./usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstgetbits.so: stack=RWE alsa-lib-1.0.6-4.i386 ./lib/libasound.so.2.0.0: stack=RWE grub-0.95-3.1.i386 ./sbin/grub: stack=RWE kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.48.i386 ./usr/sbin/x86info: stack=RWE valgrind-2.2.0-5.EL4.i386 ./usr/lib/valgrind/libpthread.so: stack=RWE gstreamer-plugins-0.8.5-1.EL.0.i386 ./usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgsthermescolorspace.so: stack=RWE gstreamer-plugins-0.8.5-1.EL.0.i386 ./usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstvideoscale.so: stack=RWE HelixPlayer-1.0.1.gold-8EL.i386 ./usr/lib/helix/codecs/colorcvt.so: stack=RWE HelixPlayer-1.0.1.gold-8EL.i386 ./usr/lib/helix/codecs/cvt1.so: stack=RWE HelixPlayer-1.0.1.gold-8EL.i386 ./usr/lib/helix/plugins/vidsite.so: stack=RWE mkinitrd-4.1.18-2.i386 ./sbin/nash: stack=RWE bogl-0.1.18-4.i386 ./usr/lib/libbogl.so.0.1: stack=RWE dietlibc-0.27-4.i386 ./usr/bin/diet: stack=RWE SDL-1.2.7-8.i386 ./usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.0: stack=RWE xmms-1.2.10-9.i386 ./usr/lib/xmms/Visualization/libbscope.so: stack=RWE guile-1.6.4-14.i386 ./usr/lib/libqthreads.so.12.3.0: stack=RWE net-tools-1.60-37.i386 ./sbin/netplugd: stack=RWE module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3.i386 ./sbin/insmod.static: stack=RWE libdv-0.103-1.i386 ./usr/lib/libdv.so.4.0.1: stack=RWE gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-15.1.i386 ./usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so.2.0.0: stack=RWE gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-15.1.i386 ./usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib.so.2.0.0: stack=RWE libsilc-0.9.12-7.i386 ./usr/lib/libsilc-1.0.so.2.1.0: stack=RWE gnupg-1.2.6-1.i386 ./usr/bin/gpg: stack=RWE gnupg-1.2.6-1.i386 ./usr/bin/gpgv: stack=RWE flac-1.1.0-7.i386 ./usr/lib/libFLAC.so.4.1.2: stack=RWE beecrypt-3.1.0-6.i386 ./usr/lib/libbeecrypt.so.6.2.0: stack=RWE
