[Asterisk-Dev] can ztdummy be used with a monolithic kernel? (2.6)

[Rev. Jeffrey Paul]

I am attempting to get MeetMe working on a machine using only IP for
trunks.  This machine, for security reasons, has module support disabled
and is patched to disallow writing to /dev/mem or /dev/kmem (even by
root) to prevent unauthorized loading of code into kernelspace (which is
possible via these mechanisms even with modules disabled).

I am running 2.6.11, specifically, the gentoo hardened version (r13)
that includes grsecurity and cryptography support.

Is it possible to get ztdummy working as a timer source for asterisk in
such a configuration, or must I enable module support (and thus the huge
potential for an LKM backdoor in the event of a system compromise)?

Regards,
