The current release is mostly a bug-fix version. * What is syscalltrack? syscalltrack is a linux kernel module and supporting user space environment which allow interception, logging and possibly taking action upon system calls that match user defined criteria (syscalltrack can be thought of as a sophisticated, system wide strace). * Where can i get it?

Happy hacking and tracking! ======================================================================= Major new features for 0.66.6 (mostly a bug-fix version) --------------------------- * Support for new process parameters: PPID, PCOMM. Special attention should be given to PCOMM, which allows matching on the name of the program the process parent is executing. major bug fixes for version 0.66.6: * Fix the bug where filter expression with '!' or '~' weren't parsed correctly. * Fix the bug where filter expression first token was a '(' (LPAREN), we looped endlessly because we never advanced to the next token. thanks to Padraig Brady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for triggeting it. ======================================================================= -- amir http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
