This is an excellent module, but I believe that my patch is still smaller. ;)
Now we have two choices -- a version-independent module, or a small kernel patch.
They will both generate the same names, provided that you compile my patch in non-politically correct mode. By default, it substitutes politically correct names for the non-PC ones.
You can get this patch through the following WWW page: http://www2.vcn.com/~jmaslak
Enjoy!
Here's the changes: Changed verbs, nouns, etc... Not compatible with prior versions. Moved /proc/sys/kernel/animal to /proc/sys/kernel/name Cleaned code up Made it work with pre2.0.14...
Joel Maslak Team /proc/animal!
