1.  Yes, it lets you watch all sorts of file system operations.
2.  Yes, it needs priv's - CMKRNL should do it.
3.  NO, it's not something to be played with.  IT CAN CRASH YOUR SYSTEM.  That's
	why it's hidden behind a CMKRNL barrier - run with CMKRNL, and it's
	your responsibility to be careful.

	It's my understanding that it's not LIKELY to crash your system, but
	it COULD happen.  If it does, don't bother reporting the problem to
	DEC.  (Though if you can figure out what actions lead to crashes, it
	would certainly be worthwhile letting the INFOVAX community know
	about it, so that others may be able to avoid them.)
