Disable and re-enable address space layout randomization only for myself
I would like to disable address space layout randomization (ASLR) on my system (Ubuntu Gnu/Linux 2.6.32-41-server), but, if I use sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0 the change would affect all users on the system, I presume. (Is this true?) How can I limit the effects of disabling ASLR to myself as a user only, or only to the shell session in which I invoke the command to disable? BTW, I see that my system's current (default) setting is sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0 Why 2 and not 1 or 3? Where can I find documentation about the numerical values of /proc/sys settings, their ranges,
