RHEL7: cannot stat /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield: No such file or directory #36

Closed jorritfolmer closed 8 years ago

jorritfolmer commented 9 years ago

Red Hat 7 has exec-shield enabled by default and removed the /proc entry. Quote from Red Hat:

Exec-shield is no longer an option in sysctl for kernel tuning. This is a security measure, as documented in the RHEL 7 Security Guide.
