Ah, that’s good to know, thanks. In that case, would you recommend I just use 
the config options detailed in the grsecurity module for configuration? Is that 
module “ready to go”?

I did see that issue on GitHub, yeah. I’ve been trying to work out if I can use 
it (and also how!). Would it be as simple as checking out that branch of 
nixpkgs in my local repo and hitting nixos-rebuild switch? That sounds far too 
easy...


Thanks!
Matt
