* Ok,
*       More issues to bug you all with. After making those changes in
* asm/unistd.h, upon compiling my userspace admin code, I get the following
* errors:/usr/include/asm/unistd.h:276: badly punctuated parameter list in
* '
*# define'. I'm sure I followed Chris' directions properly. Any ideas out
* there?

Why are you modifying asm/unistd.h ?

Chris was talking about your code when he mention _syscall3()

However you may want to use glibc's syscall() rather than the kernel
_syscall*() routines. When I tried to use _syscall*() on IA64 I got nowhere
(its broken and unsupported). syscall should be available on all platforms.

Here's a working example of one of my syscalls....

#include <asm/unistd.h>

#ifndef SYS__security
#define SYS__security __NR_security
#endif

int
aud_read_from_kernel(char * buf, int size)
{
    aud_args_t args;

    if (buf == NULL || size <= 0) {
        errno = EINVAL;
        return (-1);
    }

    args.val.size = size;
    args.ptr.buffer = buf;

    return syscall(SYS__security, SYS_SECURITY_MODID, AUD_READ, &args);
}

It reads data from the kernel and returns it in buf....

* Thanks,
