Grsecurity with kernel 2.6

I'm willing to use grsecurity with 2.6.5 kernel but I have some questions: is there a way to disable LSM? (in order to avoid those security problems related to LSM, like the exported symbols). And how should I configure the SECURITY, SECURITY_CAPATIBILITIES, and SECURITY_NETWORK kernel options, I mean, can I activate these options even if I'm using grsecurty?

Sorry for the poor english, and thanks for any help.

Just keep CONFIG_SECURITY disabled. Grsecurity is not at all dependent on it, and you will retain the features of a normal kernel without LSM.

I second that, first of all if you arent running anything with NSA's SELinux tools then you have no reason to enable it in the first place, unless you plan on writing your own tools. 8)
