If you want to collect the data and then make it available via proc or something similar then a module will work. If you want to print all headers to /var/log/messages and such its just adding printk in the right place (and probably a sysctl interface for enabling/disabling the feature). A good starting point for modules is the book Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition available also online in PDF format at: http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ You can find some free books on the linux kernel (mostly 2.4, don't know about 2.6) and linux device drivers (modules) among other things also at: http://www.tcfb.com/freetechbooks/booklinuxdev.html http://www.tldp.org/guides.html > gireesh > ggireeshbabu@yahoo.co.in > > ________________________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
