I'm currently running 2.4.22-grsec-1.9.12 /i think/ and first thing i did when compling the kernel was to activate grsec-part of the kernel config /it is at the end/. Just put medium level of protection /with high level X won't start/ but you could configure it by hand - there are many options. I simply used the quick solution. There is a small help screen while in kernel config for grsec / also for other things/, so you can see what options are there. As far as i know where is utility - gradm for administring grsec ACL. Just a guess - I think that while kernel is starting it activates grsecurity - in my case medium level by default. Later on you could change that by using gradm-program. For time being i'm happy with just default config, so have never bothered to use gradm. Plus using grsec i'm also using PROPLICE GCC compile option for stack-overflow protection. Hope this helps.
