I wonder if it could work with an LD_PRELOAD or some other linker trickery.. ie replace open()/read()/write() with something that looks for /etc/mtab an= d=20 instead opens /etc/fstab and translates it on the fly.. I don't use TSM though so I couldn't test it :) (BTW linux_devtools can be used to make something like this, I wrote one fo= r=20 the TeamSpeak port to hide an unimplemented sound ioctl) =2D --=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA4ihR5ZPcIHs/zowRAqRJAJwKsNyao2pKodg7YfcQwasdbAdf2ACeN8S8 sG8eI4DCFB04Lermz8NWFx4=3D =3D0zMe =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
