Ärende: security patch for 2.4.1 kernel

hi, i've just finished work on a security patch for the 2.4.1 linux
kernel.  it's mainly a port of some of the features from solar
designer's openwall patch for 2.2, so credit goes to him for most of
the original code.  I've added the feature that is similar to openbsd
which only allows users in group 10(wheel) to setuid() to another
user.  it logs any failed attempts.  The patch so far is in beta
stage, it hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, so i'd like to hear your
input, what worked, what didn't (if it worked at all), and what you'd
like to see added to it.  you can download the patch off
http://www.getrewted.net in the downloads section.  thanks.
