Re: socket and lkm

Hmmm... are you sure you want to do this in kernel space? I think a simpler
way to tackle this problem would be to perhaps create a proc filesystem
entry (that would show whatever information you want to be shown when it is
read) and in userspace to simply setup a cron job to once a month read that
file in /proc and mail the contents out to root.
