Hi, I have noticed that on our FC systems (FC3, 4, 5 and 6), and RHEL4 have no /dev/kmem. RHEL3 does have /dev/kmem. I also noticed that other systems, Ubuntu, Solaris, NetBSD, have /dev/kmem. Can anyone tell me why Fedora/RedHat should no longer provide this device? The man page for kmem still exists, and does say how to create it. It also explains how to create /dev/mem and /dev/port, both of which are provided, it is just /dev/kmem that is missing. Thanks, John. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: John.Horne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: +44 (0)1752 233839
