It seems that I recall several times in the past that I've stumbled across packages that allow you to rig your system such that various file operations are relayed to code in userland rather than (or in addition to) being handled by the kernel. It seems that I recall one that (with minimal effort) provided the ability to create a device node that could be "owned" by an arbitrary userland process and I may have also seen some trick that allowed you to intercept arbitrary file ops on arbitrary files.
Assuming that I'm not just suffering some sort of False Memory Syndrome here, can somebody remind me where I might have seen these? BTW, a named pipe might at first seem to be a solution until you remember that "real" files aren't FIFO... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
