[rsbac] Problem with RSBAC and PAX (Kernel 2.4.26)

Thanks for the information.

No, X is not running on the server (since we usually don't need it for 
the server administration (we start it only when we need it for 
configuring a program where it would be too complicate to configure it 
via the bash-shell)). Since the last crash happened in the early morning 
(where there shouldn't be much traffic on the server (used as web-, 
data- and fileserver)) we can't say, which program caused the problem. 
My personal suspects are Pax or the kernel since the crash is so 
thorough, that no info is written to the logfiles or the screen.

With best regards.
