Subject: Signing modules in Kernel 2.4

Hello,

I found a patch for Kernels 2.6 that ensures kernel integrity by
digitally signing kernel modules. Is something similar available for
2.4-Kernels?

Kind regards
Christoph

2.4 kernels have a userspace insmod. so you would need to have a trusted
insmod too. Forget it, just go to 2.6
