Hi,
> What's a FileSystem Filter Driver?
This is a driver that intercepts calls to the filesystem - for example
for monitoring or to do additional access checks. Such a filter driver
can then pass the call down to the filesystem or just cancel the call
and (for example) return "access denied".
Under Windows a pretty well-known filter driver is FileMon at
www.sysinternals.com. Thex also have a Linux version but (ahhh)
without Source (the source for the Windows-Version is available). The
Linux-Version can be found at
http://www.sysinternals.com/linux/utilities/filemon.shtml
I guess what they are doing is similar to the way strace works - but
I'm not sure. Hmmm, let us strace this thing ;-))))
Here are two Links that might help to implement such a thing under
Linux (the most interesting is DaZuKo):

Bye
Michael
