christos 6e36ff926d PR/42239: M. Levinson: paxctl(8) fails since binutils 2.19.1 upgrade
binutils-2.19.1 tries to create one note section for all adjacent loadable
note sections, instead of the old behavior where each note is in its own
section. The fix looks at the section headers instead of the program headers
for the note.

elad bdcc6c320e There's no use for the '-l' flag, so don't document it. Viewing PaX flags
is done by issuing "paxctl file" with no flags, so note that it the
man-page instead.

From Michal Spacek, thanks!

christos f8082d9a50 We should be able to operate on more than one file, like other unix tools. 2007-12-08 19:56:54 +00:00
perry e34be9798b Never use "utilize". It means exactly the same thing as "use", but it
is longer and more cumbersome. It can always be replaced with "use"
without any change in meaning.

christos 2ffe4b875f Use an elf note to handle pax arguments. This is a temporary solution to
avoid wasting OS flag bits. In the future we'll probably use fileassoc to
achieve this (once there is a way to make fileassoc persistent) or in the
shorter term libelf, so that we can add and remove the note on demand instead
of burning bits on each binary. Of course since this is a tool, this means
that we'll need to think about how to handle libelf...

elad d1a83ca2d5 Add a comment indicating why this program is installed 0550, as suggested
by christos@. The comment reads:

	# This program is set 0550 because, as security(8) states, it has
	# the potential to deplete kernel memory, under certain conditions.

elad db9dbd11ac Install paxctl(8) as 0550. 2007-02-08 02:25:44 +00:00
elad a8c0f0c72e Move paxctl from usr.bin/paxctl to usr.sbin/paxctl, and make it an admin
tool (man-page moved from section 1 to section 8).
