BSD Forums writes "Kernel programming sometimes feels like a dark art where application programmers should never venture, but sometimes it's the right way to solve a problem. (Oh, and it's also very interesting.) One of the easiest places to start is by adding a new system call to a kernel. Kevin Lo explains how and why, with the OpenBSD kernel in this OnLamp article."

I think my last attempt at 'hello-world' may have introduced a local root hole. Kernel hacking is probably knowledge I shouldn't have ... I'm sure I'm not alone =)
