This won't help if it's an LKM...LKM stands for "Linux Kernel Module,"
For some reason, I just saw 'chrootroot' and not LKM; hence my response. Anyway, I always recommend people not compile in loadable module support if they want a more secure kernel and to avoid this type of problem in the future. -- Regards, Tim Greer chatmaster () charter net Server administration, security, programming, consulting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attend the Black Hat Briefings & Training, July 28 - 31 in Las Vegas, the world's premier technical IT security event! 10 tracks, 15 training sessions, 1,800 delegates from 30 nations including all of the top experts, from CSO's to "underground" security specialists.
