Re: Capturing System Calls

[lamont () ICOPYRIGHT COM (Granquist, Lamont)]

Under linux you can modify the syscall table through a loadable kernel
module.  This will allow you to modify the behavior of system calls.  This
may satisfy the restriction that you're not allowed to modify the kernel,
since you're doing it dynamically and the underlying code remains the
same.
