Description
I'm attempting to run Tahoe with a Linux kernel that uses grsec (2.6.32.9 with the corresponding grsec patch).
It appears that the high security mode of grsec is incompatible with Tahoe.
Grsec disallows a resource overstep when Tahoe requests 4196256 for RLIMIT_CORE. To get Tahoe started, you'll need to add the following to the init.d script:
ulimit -c 4196256
Futhermore, it appears that Tahoe has an unhandled error when it cannont open /proc/net/dev (it's not there for normal users in high security mode). This causes Tahoe to call os.abort() and Tahoe fails to start.
