Stephanie security add-ons for OpenBSD 3.6 released

Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 is released. The stephanie(7) man page says: "Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 adds some features, mostly security related, to the OpenBSD kernel." Features include: System trust list, Trusted path execution, Vexec: Binary integrity, Process privacy, and Userland privacy.

The new version has a mostly rewritten Vexec using hash tables to store data, more privacy features (with hooks for netstat, w, who, last, and finger), and trustcheck(2) syscall removed (use sysctl instead).

More information is at http://ethernet.org/~brian/Stephanie/.
