Hi.

I was wondering if anyone has considered modifying the linux kernel such
that the modules may be 'locked'.

What i mean by that is that no more modules can be loaded/unloaded.

what would the value of this be? Script kiddies with their own kernel modules

Although this is (arguably) a moot point, since if they are loading modules
then root has already been compromised.

Comments?
