A new Linux worm

Digsig is a Linux kernel module, which checks RSA digital signatures of ELF binaries and libraries before they are run.

But if this had been done with just bash scripts, digsig wouldn't be of much help, right?

The webpage is out of date: as of the CVS release (stable as hell despite not being released yet), scripts can be checked too, but it's more annoying (you have to decorate every script you'll run).
