Sysctl syscall
Compiling the program which uses a lot sysctl syscalls, gives me this warning on Debian unstable: warning: the `sysctl' syscall has been removed from 2.6.18+ kernels, direct access to `/proc/sys' should be used instead. Is it true? And what can be used as alternative which would work with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and would work with capabilities (sys/capability.h)? Accessing `/proc/sys' directly isn't such alternative as it doesn't work with capabilities. regards, -- Hasso Tepper Elion Enterprises Ltd.

Is it true? Well it was unobsoleted in 2.6.19 if I followed the list correctly.
