AIX

I would like to port a small utility from Linux to AIX and, lacking any software development knowledge for AIX, need some help:

I have a library called Snoopy. Basically it intercepts the execv() and execve() system calls and logs them to the syslog-facility AUTHPRIV then passes control over to the original system calls. It does so by adding an entry into /etc/ld.so.preload so that the library gets preloaded and can intercept the systemcalls by its own versions of them.

I am now looking for an analogous solution for AIX to intercept these two system calls with their logging versions. Any ideas?

Heh, I know your general problem. Current versions of AIX don't allow preloading of shared libraries. The sudo man page explains that some of its features won't work on AIX because of this. The only real solution, it would appear, is to replace the system libc.
