Hi,

http://www.trojanproof.org/sigexec-fbsd4.6r-0.1.tgz

Note that this is our original inline reference code simply updated for
FreeBSD 4.6 and not the new V2 code which is still available as a beta
only for OpenBSD 3.1 Release. We are working on a FreeBSD upgrade to the
V2 code.

Also Note that to apply these patches to the 4.6 Stable branch as of
this date the /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file in stable has been updated to
1.246.2.43 
Simply do not apply the GENERIC.diff patch we have supplied if your
tracking stable and instead make sure to add the following option to
your kernel config file:
options        SIGNED_EXEC             #md5 signature check exec

Regards, Mike.
