There's no easy way to do this. You can't just pass your kernel buffer to the system call you are intercepting, since the intercepted call expects a user-space buffer. Have a look at this link for some inspiration: http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs4513/b05/proj1note2.txt Also be careful about the return value of the real sys_write system call. If you're passing it a buffer larger than the n bytes passed in from userspace, its return value can be greater than n. Don't just use it unmodified as the return value for your function. -- Chris
