Give your filesystem an NFS server interface. An NFS server listens for SunRPC/UDP packets and replies with more of the same. You can't get better isolation from the kernel than that. Better, it uses the very portable Berkeley Socket interface, so the same code could run on Linux, HP/UX and Windows with a few tweaks. It can be network transparent if you want, or it can be restricted to localhost. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
