hi list! im having a problem coding a LKM for the 2.6 kernel series. the problem is related to file creation from kernel space. i tried to call sys_creat() for example with the __asm__() template but the syscall failed for some reason. the file simply wasnt created. using a function ptr to the memory address of the exportet symbol "sys_creat" didnt work aswell. maybe you have an idea of how i could create a file from kernel space? im kinda stuck. thanks a lot threadhead _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE Virenschutz schuetzt Ihr Postfach vor dem Wurm Netsky.A-K!
