Hi all

I just have a few question about execution of code on the stack or heap.
It is possible in FreeBSD right? But why does the stack and heap need to
be executable?

I have read about mprotect(), but can you change the stack and heap permi=
ssions
with that? If yes how? (the man page tells you almost nothing).

Btw does the ia32 have both read and execution permissions for the memory=

or is read and execution the same? If it is the same, have this changed
in ia64?

Hope someone can answer these :-)
