End Of Development For Grsecurity Announced? Posted by simoniker on Monday May 31, @03:58PM from the future-not-so-secure dept. vrtk writes "I received this minutes ago, from the grsecurity mailing list, also displayed on the official site for the open-source security project: 'Beginning today, May 31, 2004, development of grsecurity will cease. On June 7, the website, forums, mailing list, and CVS will be shut down. Due to a sponsor unexpectedly dropping sponsorship of grsecurity while continually promising payment, I began the summer in debt and had to borrow money from family to pay for food. If none of the companies that depend on grsecurity, some of them being very large, are able to sponsor the project, grsecurity will cease to exist. I am not looking for paypal donations at this point, unless those that donate do so with the recognition that despite their donation, grsecurity may still never be returning.'" I use this kernel extensiviely to harden my public servers. He's looking for companies that use it to sponsor him on the development. You'd think one of the big companies like IBM or HP would be willing to sponsor one of these kernel security projects. If you feel the urge to sponsor him (however big or small) , then get ahold of him so he'll keep working on the project. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
