Subject: about [PATCH] Allow sysrq() via /proc/sys/kernel/magickey

<http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/[email protected]?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-2d>

"It's in -wolk for a long time and also in some other kernel tree forks.
2.5/2.6 has almost the same (/proc/sysrq-trigger)"

/proc/sysrq-trigger is also in recent 2.4 (it got added in 2.4.21-pre,
see <http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/[email protected]>). this
patch just duplicates functionality.

root@testing-builder /proc # ls -l sysrq-trigger
--w------- 1 root proc 0 Aug 25 23:23 sysrq-trigger

Cheers!

hmm, I am very sorry and I must have been totally blind that I missed that one
completely. Marcelo, please undo this patch.

ciao, Marc
