Description Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-18 00:26:43 UTC
We can see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351899#c7 for an example on what has to be written, as the proc restrictions will take some space to explain the better approach should be a separated doc referenced from the FAQ as we did with TPE.

As this will imply some kernel recompilation and reboots (as it did with TPE) I have to delay this request for a latter time :(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just look at the hardened project pages ;)

Actual Results:  
No page warning on the /proc restrictions compromises

Expected Results:  
A page warns of this.

Sorry I put another bug number :(

With the hardened sources being masked and on the way out and with no access to the newer versions, writing this has become kind of pointless :(
