I've never used electric fence but had heard of it. So this thread had
me checking gentoo for it. Didn't find it, but did find a "last-rites"
announcement (and subsequent removal from tree) on the gentoo-dev list in
Aug 2009, which mentioned its replacement: duma. (dev-util/duma on
gentoo.)
So try looking for duma (Detect Unintended Memory Access). =:^)
Gentoo has versions 2.5.13 and 2.5.15-r1 (-r1 signifying a gentoo package
bump of the same upstream version). Based on the gentoo package
changelog, 2.5.15 was introduced in Aug, 2009 (hmm, may not be
coincidental with efence removal), with the -r1 introduced in Apr 2010.
According to the gentoo package, duma upstream is:
http://duma.sourceforge.net
... which lists it as a fork of Bruce Perens' electric fence. And duma
2.5.15 appears to be the latest version on sourceforge as well. =:^)
