X-Nntp-Posting-Host: bio-5.bsd.uchicago.edu Message-ID: <DKEMoG.C19@midway.uchicago.edu> Originator: twpierce@mail.bsd.uchicago.edu (Tim Pierce) Sender: news@midway.uchicago.edu (News Administrator) X-Web: Mosaic, minus neat concept Organization: Direct Frontal Assaults on Bob Dornan Date: Sat, 30 Dec 1995 14:53:04 GMT Lines: 11 There is apparently a Linux `ioperm' system call that is used to set permissions on various I/O ports. I'm afraid I have no idea what this call does or how it works, but I'm attempting to port some software that makes use of it, so I'm curious whether FreeBSD provides any analogous facility, or whether the BSD version of the code should take any action where Linux would use ioperm. -- By sending unsolicited commercially-oriented e-mail to this address, the sender agrees to pay a $100 flat fee to the recipient for proofreading services.
