Most of the components of this project have been untested so far, so basically w're doing prototypes right now....and sys_execve() is a place i got stuck. Reading your FAQ, i just got a bit confused on the how the sys_execve() works, can you elaborate on it ? And the part about providing a hook ... I just want to printk the name of the executable and be done with it. Can't it be done in an easier way ? regards Sridhar -- Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing -- Murphy's Laws on Work -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
