My concerns are with precompiled binaries that can't be recompiled. In my particular case, I am interested in running game servers. The main problem I can forsee is when running a 32bit linux binary on the 64bit system. Will this work at all and if so what issues can I expect.

Basically, FreeBSD 32-bit binary support is top of the list, then when that works, Linux 32 i scheduled to be worked on.

I did read that thread, but I was just wondering if anything has changed since. So I assume linux compatibility is pretty much broke at the moment?

In nb_enum_if() in /usr/src/contrib/smbfs/lib/smb/nb_net.c, this code traverses all of the net interfaces looking for broadcast addresses. Of interest ifc.ifc_len is 524, but sizeof (struct ifreq) is 32? Shouldn't the len be an integer multiple of the size of the struct? I can find no documentation of these ioctl's. I looked at the bytes returned by SIOCGIFCONF an it's clearly not what the libsmbfs code expects, but I don't know what SIOCGIFCONF is really supposed to return & the structure boundaries in the buffer aren't obvious. if (ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc) != 0) { error = errno; goto bad; } ifrqp = ifc.ifc_req; ifcnt = ifc.ifc_len / sizeof(struct ifreq); error = 0; for (i = 0; i < ifcnt; i++, ifrqp++) { if (ioctl(s, SIOCGIFFLAGS, ifrqp) != 0) continue;
