Hi there!
I have re-compiled PHP RPMS with Hardened-PHP patch. More info about hardened-php here http://www.hardened-php.net/
What is the Hardened-PHP Project?
The Hardened-PHP Project is a group of people creating a patchset that adds security hardening features to PHP to protect your servers on the one hand against a number of well known problems in hastily written PHP scripts and on the other hand against potential unknown vulnerabilities within the engine itself.
Implemented protections (until now)
- Canary protection of the Zend Memory Manager
- Canary protection of Zend Linked Lists
- Canary protection of Zend HashTable Destructors
- Protection against internal format string exploits
- Protection against arbitrary code inclusion
- Configureable input variable filter (filter for size, length, number, depth)
- Syslog logging of attackers IP and attacked script
- Protects the superglobals from beeing overwritten by import_request_variables()/extract()
- memory_limit cannot be increased over the configured maximum
- Protection against malfunctional realpath() implementations
- Safe Unlink protection for the Zend Memory Manager

Installs ok but webmail, no errors, now has a problem.
All the old options are gone. Attempting to add them back returns a blank screen and no saved options. Any ideas?

Hi gocdo!
Did you have any accelerators installed? You'll have to uninstall those as I have mentioned. You can also check your logs (basically /var/log/messages) to see what's wrong.
If you want get back funtionality uninstall all php-rpms you installed
# rpm -qa|grep 4.3.11-2eo
then uninstall hardened-php
# rpm -e php php-imap php-mysql <other-php-packages>
You can then reinstall "normal" php with

Why not, just don't write "hastily written PHP scripts" ??
