Kernel support for MISC binaries not working under 2.4.17

[Brooks R. Robinson]

Greetings,
        I have compiled 'CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y' into my 2.4.17 kernel and I have 
a
'/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/' directory.  However, I do not have a 'register'
or a 'status' file in that directory.  When I try to echo something to these
files, bash complains that they do not exist.  I haven't used this for quite
a while, but it worked great under 2.2.x kernels.  Any help?

Thanks,

Brooks
