I think this was meant. man wskbd tells a little about the keyboard and the routines for this are in /sys/dev/wscons I think. Because you have the source, can recompile and the code is written with KISS in mind you'll be able to patch something up. However if you do you should check your morals, they come back to haunt you if you abuse them. Running a default kernel compiled by deraadt directly from the CD-ROM should ensure that no keylogger of any sort is installed in the kernel. There really isn't much reason to compile your own kernel unless you add your own stuff or want to change something. -peter -- Here my ticker tape .signature #### My name is Peter Philipp #### lynx -dump "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pufferfish&oldid=20768394" | sed -n 131,136p #### So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
