Bonus. Keep me up to date; I've had house guests for the past two days, so
doing work to verify that it now works properly hasn't been an option.

*Nod* I'd be glad to give it a test when you do. Let me know.

Do you know of any place to get patches for the other modules? I also
haven't compiled in VPN support yet either; that'll come when I have the
system confirmed working. At that point I'm going to patch in the VPN
stuff, add the OpenWall patches - assuming that they're out for 2.4, which
I believe they are - and a few other miscellaneous things. I'm thinking
about trying to compile a new image from scratch for glibc 2.1, but I
don't know if I'm that brave. =)
