Does the kernel save the filename anywhere in the filedescriptor arrays? If it does, then strace could be easily modified to read the filename from the kernel, not from the programs userspace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ v2 - Sampo Savolainen - 040 7555649 Saraxa Media / Finngemma Tuotanto Oy
