+Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations.
+
+It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws
+in PHP applications and the PHP core.
+
+Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or
+in combination. The first part is a small patch against the PHP core,
+that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or
+format string vulnerabilities.
+
+The second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other
+protections. Suhosin is binary compatible with normal PHP installations,
+which means it is compatible to 3rd party binary extensions like
+ZendOptimizer.
+
+This package includes only the extention. To enable it after installation,
+edit /etc/httpd/php.ini and add a line to 'Dynamic Extensions', like this:
+
+extension=suhosin.so
+
+After which the 'php -v' command should list it as loaded.
+For more info try:
+
+php -i | grep suhosin
