I've made some updates to the ProPolice enabled Gentoo system. It is no longer default behavior to enable stack protection but can be given by a compile time flag with a patch gcc. More information can be found at http://frogger974.homelinux.org/gentoo_propolice.html .

I've also put together a script which will copy an Apache install into a chroot under /var/chroot/apache. There is also a new new startup script to start/stop/restart the chrooted daemon. The script requires apache to be merged to run, but after it has been installed, you can feel free to unmerge the old non-chrooted apache. Again, more information is available at http://frogger974.homelinux.org/gentoo_propolice.html . This doesn't require propolice, but it runs fine being built with the stack protection if you're interested in trying.

Of course, this stuff is all experimental, so use it at your own risk. But if you do decide to give any of it a try please let me know how it turns out.
