I just noticed that if you create /compat/linux/foo as a symlink to /etc then linux binaries get the contents of the "real" /etc, however I consider this to be broken and have send-pr'd it. Perhaps you could fork off a FreeBSD tar process to collect the files for you? Niall -- Niall Smart. Microsoft Suck.
