What is the "proper" way to install a module in the kernel. I have
software that depends on the softdog module. The softdog module is
thate, I have created the device and installed softdog using
/sbin/insmod, however the software still complains that softdog is not
installed, and the module does not stay loaded after a reboot.

You may need to run (as root) depmod -a and/or you may need to
modify /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf (or something like these).
What does the documentation for softdog say???
