You might want to build your project on top of the Loadable Security Modules patch at: http://lsm.immunix.org/ which allows you to focus on the policy and implementation issues of your security system, and not on things like "where to put this hook", and "how to grab a syscall". As has been stated on this list many times, don't hook syscalls, it isn't portable, or race free. Just a suggestion :) thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
