Description Jeroen Elebaut 2003-12-24 01:27:55 UTC

there is an error in the default-gentoo-policy for grsecurity for apache.
On the first line it should be /usr/sbin/apache2.And also the following lines should be like this: 
"/usr/sbin/apache x" should be "/usr/sbin/apache2 x"
"/var/log/apache2 a" should be "/var/log/apache2 a"
"/var/run/apache.pid w" should be "/var/run/apache2.pid w"

That policy does not support apache2 plain and simple it supports apache1. apache2's mod_php is known to have problems functioning with PAX..
So... apache2 should not be used when security matters.
