This module has been tested only with FreeBSD 4.0 - it may require some minor changes to work with other releases. Summary of changes from the previous version: * each syscall can be intercepted, and either monitored (with adjustable level of details) or disabled based on process credentials * setting of per-syscall monitoring/disable options has been implemented * options now have symbolic names, rather than being binary masks. * sysctl tunables now reside under kern.spy.* instead of creating their own root category. * a manpage - thank to Sheldon Hearn, who provided manified version of README included in previous release - it was a good skeleton for the new manpage. As usually, comments and suggestions are welcome.
