Hmm, http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org shows last
*stable* version with grsec 2.6.22.19

2.6.29.6 with grsec is in experimental and 2.6.31.1 has no grsec-patch
at all.

This raises the question if grsec has benefits on a vserver host at all.

I will compile a 2.6.31.1 without grsec for testing. I don't feel very
well using an experimental kernel in an productive environment.

Greetz,
Andre
