In that case, it sounds like all you need is static configuration. Create a user utility (just like /usr/sbin/ipf) that opens your module or driver and uses ioctls to set the filters needed. There should be no need to do raw file I/O from inside the kernel in the case you're describing. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
