It could, but remember that calling kobject_hotplug() causes a fork to happen itself, within the kernel. So you have to prevent recursion :) But that's really not the best way to do this. Why not just use the kernel audit interface? I think that would work much better for you. thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
