Subject:   PaX in FreeBSD like grsecurity and OpenBSD
Message-ID:  <457132E5.9040001@xs4all.nl>

OpenBSD has:

Memory protection purify
 * W^X
 * .rodata segment
 * Guard pages
 * Randomized malloc()
 * Randomized mmap()
 * atexit() and stdio protection

In grsecurity there is PaX:

http://pax.grsecurity.net/

Can these features really prevent some exploits?

I tried to search equivalants in FreeBSD.
