Hello everyone,

=A0

ma= ybe my question is simple.

I never used Gentoo hardened so= urces before, but now I have a Postfix Server that is running on Gentoo har= dened 2.6.11.

=A0

I need iSCSI initiator support = for this server but when I do =93make menuconfig=94 to build the requested = modules ( like iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP ) are not available.

=A0

So are these modules not available= because of the hardened sources or because of the 2.6.11 kernel version?

=A0

Can I stay with the hardened sourc= es and just have to upgrade to an newer version or is iSCSI not supported w= ith hardened?


Since this kernel is more than 6 years ol= d and there have been quite a few changes and updates, even in the area of = iSCSI, is it a problem to try out a more recent Linux kernel? It is also re= commended due to security vulnerabilities in older kernels.

If this isn't possible, does searching in the "make menuconfig= " (using "/") for ISCSI reveal any hits?=A0
