Hi
I am getting an error while inserting an hello world program.

[deepti@marieke deepti]$ /sbin/insmod hello-2.ko
insmod: error inserting 'hello-2.ko': -1 Operation not permitted

I haven't logged in as root. For inserting a module do I need to logged in as root?
I will really appretiate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance
