Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2011-07-21 17:35:10 UTC
Where can I find a reference for how to verify that the desired effect has been achieved?  I'll need this to check locally, and QE will as well.

Comment 2 Steve Grubb 2011-07-21 17:40:26 UTC
I'll provide a test script in the next day or two. You can use checksec.sh --file path-to-shared-object in the mean time. But having an automated test is better.
