If you are referring to where do I set up the structs, sockutil and sockif, they are global. Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

NFD_GLOBAL specifies the socket NKE is global. "Programmatic" == not global. But from your statement one thing might be in some test cases I am not running my user land app. I wanted to get the NKE to just load and start filtering without the userland app being there. So does that mean I would have to set up the socket from within the NKE? If you are talking about a DLIL "filter" NKE, there is no socket involved, because DLIL is below the socket layer. As for all non-IOKit gizmos, you must load thesee by hand (e.g., in a StartupItem, as is done for IPFirewall). Your NKE can start to work as soon as it is loaded.
