1. A method of automating the building of a kernel hook module (KHM), said method comprising: receiving a user request to build said KHM, said user request including information identifying a particular operating system distribution environment; determining whether a build machine is currently running said requested particular operating system distribution environment in response to said user request; when it is determined that said build machine is not currently running said requested particular operating system distribution environment, rebooting said build machine in order to run said requested particular operating system distribution environment; running said particular operating system distribution environment on said build machine in response to said user request; retrieving kernel source files corresponding to said operating system distribution environment; installing said kernel source files on said build machine; building said KHM on said build machine in an automated manner; and delivering said KHM to said user, whereby said user inserts said KHM into said particular operating system distribution environment.
