Then don't do it. As in don't check it in.

My understanding of metahook was that it was to abstract out what was=20
needed for Veriexec, and to make it so that it and other services can=20
operate w/o having each one of them need to shove something different into=
=20
all the VFS-layer routines.

What complications do you see in extending metahook(9) to support=20
networked file systems?

Take care,

Bill
