Are the any changes i need to make to the program.
2) i would like to know if i have to write a Kernal Program or module(im new to this kinda situation....All i know is to write a c program that does some socket operations). How must i compile this code and where should i place it.
3) I guess that the instructions you mentioned earlier is on how i could get the kernal to start and manage the application.
Thanks,
Preetham.
1) login and execute it. if you put it in the inetd.conf file then just HUP the inetd process.
2) use a compiler to make a binary from your c code. and Kelam answered the 2nd part to this question.
3) the tips we gave you are how you load a program at boot time.
4) i would suggest befor trying to make a prog. that listens to sockets and what not, you should familarize yourself with basic system administration so you will at least know if there is a problem where you can look and what not.
5) please (altho i now have my suspicion about this being a hacking related question) post legitimate questions.
