      Google for "ProPolice", or . . . by HadEnuf 2004-12-14 09:14:46
. . . search for it on one of the OpenBSD mirrors, to get an idea how it's
done, in one particular case.

Basically, a lot of 'nixen restrict access to pages in memory, such that
they can be written, or executed, but not both. Sun has some particularly
good, hardware support for this, which is probably the basis of the one
Solaris admin's claim.
