Hi,
I don't think it will ever be in FreeBSD, but I used ProPolice in the past:
http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/buildfreebsd.html
The patch should be for 5.x in general, I don't use it anymore since some
ports will break, if you play with it you can disable it by default and
enable it explicit when you are willing to compile a binary with it.
Once applied and compiled the whole base with it enabled, you cannot just
turn back!
Kind regards,
Jimmy Scott
