Re: where did ioperm & iopl functions go ?

as-salam alikom,

	well, thanks fellas for the help, I did find the iopl & ioperm
functions in the 'sys/io.h' file, well, about that unistd.h doesn't come
with gcc, why then does the unistd.h start with those lines :

/*
 *      POSIX Standard: 2.10 Symbolic Constants         <unistd.h>
 */


note, that the first 2 lines say that the unistd.h is a part of the GNU C
library...
anyways, I tried that example program again, but I get a seg. fault, cause
I can't get the setuid(0) to work... I have to run the program as root,
isn't there a way where I can run the program as a normal user ?
 Thanks again for the help...
