I ever used a monolithic vanilla kernel but my sound under debian was
not working. It's only working in the case I build in the kernel alsa
and soundcore as module.

At the moment I'am not having users on my Client in the LAN so as I
understand to load a rootkit under proc an attacker needs root access
to execute insmod to load a rootkit.

I'am firewalled and using stable debian and I'am not able to use sound
only in the case I have a modularized kernel with module support.

Can I expect in the case some gains access over the IRC port as I'am
using IRC over the IRC server to execute a root exploit he's able to
install a rootkit?

Sorry for this question!
