[grsec] Reboot problem

[John Logsdon]

I have a reboot problem.  

The only thing that makes me wonder if it's anything to do with grsec is
that I altered the PaX configuration - basically switched it on and unset
the grsec sysctl facility.  The grsec config is essentially that shown on
the Gentoo grsec2 page except with:

CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_PROC_USER=y
CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_USERGROUP is not set

CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_EXECLOG=n
CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_CHROOT_EXECLOG=n
CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_AUDIT_TEXTREL=n

CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_TPE_GID=20

and gid=20 is group paxtpe but with no members.

After compiling the new kernel, going through to make install, I found
that I cant ssh in *even before rebooting*.  

And if I reboot, I still can't ssh in to any user.

Is there anything in make install that could have altered a running kernel
or facility?

TIA

John
