The last I looked -- and it's been a few years, so it might no longer be true -- the check for this was in the driver software, which is open-sourced. The check was even guarded by an ifdef so that it was easily disabled. If you disabled the check, you got a hyperventilating syslog warning saying you were taking your life into your hands by using unapproved equipment. That warning could then be ignored while it receded into rotated and, eventually, expunged log history.As I said, that was a few years ago, so would need to be reconfirmed. Jim
