It applies to a randomization of the initial stack pointer for all

ports binaries, applications, anything you compile yourself... pretty

Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand kernels a little bit better, and am
trying to learn about randomization.
My question is: Does kern.stackgap_random apply to all ports for
Dragonfly, or is this only the kernel? Or is it decided at compile
time? ... Or is my understanding way off?
Thanks

Thank you very much.
This also answered some follow up questions I would have had. I have had
an introduction into security measures via OpenBSD, but I do not yet
fully understand them. I guess I tend to ask too many questions.
