Well, it was a painless switch-over last night, but would like to hear about about any security threats with the kernal, think I'm ok with the grsec patch but, you know.

Thanks

Might as well ask here too (already asked in the DirectAdmin forum, even though this isn't related).

If I install mod_ruid2, will that affect anything mod_security wise or even block the usage of php values (eg. php_flag, php_value, etc) in htaccesses? I gather not but its better to ask than having broken scripts.

I also hear:

there are some security issues, for instance if attacker successfully exploits the httpd process, he can set effective capabilities and setuid to root. i recommend to use some security patch in kernel (grsec), or something..

The OVH kernal has grc patch, so I should be ok right?

PS. I'm not too keen on PHP_CGI, although I did try it once, some scripts behaved abnormally.

TIA
