grsecurity.xml still recommends using chpax and mentions a chpax initscript should be used to get along with common desktop applications. chpax is obsolete in favor of paxctl and there isn't a chpax initscript to use.

seconded. this reference to a non-existent package is highly confusing. c'mon, it's been 2 years!

also, kernel config variables need to be brought up to date with the current naming scheme.
