What exactly FORTIFY_SOURCE? How does it compare to SSP (aka ProPolice) and Exec-Shield (already in Fedora Core 3)?
Linux distributions need strong stack protection enabled by default--starting first with network-enabled applications including daemons (e.g. Apache) and clients (e.g. Firefox).

I would like an expert's comparison on Exec-Sheild, SSP, and related technologies. Why does Fedora use Exec-Shield and OpenBSD use SSP?
If all security extensions cannot be integrated, it would be great to offer them otherwise. I would rebuild (recompile) my system, which is an Internet host, to get more security. Anyone willing to make a Hardened Fedora project that facilities this?
