    Hi every one.

    As part of a new free Linux personal firewall I am working on
    (www.sourceforge.net/projects/linuxalarm), I want to write a kernel
    module to control programs access to network in Linux. This one of the
    most important security features ordinary end users misses in Linux as
    a desktop. This is the same as Zone Alarm on Windows.
     
    Is this solution possible? Is it the best or there is better one (I am
    open for suggestions)? Where should I start from? How to write a Linux
    module? How to control the access to sockets' system calls? What is
    the best place (mailing list, forum, etc) to discuss such things?

    Regards
