Ye ghods, yes. What do you get when you readdir() /proc/sys/net/permissions/udp? All currently bound sockets? 65k files? (The former would obviously be preferred...)
I have to admit, I think this (conceptually) fits better in the realm of devfs. /proc just seems wrong for anything like this, but maybe it's my distaste of /proc being polluted for configuration controls showing.
