It's working reasonably well. The machines /only/ do altq/pf. OpenBSD is driving me nuts; it's like BSD from 10 years ago. I'm currently undergoing the pointlessly painful experience of manually upgrading a box from 3.3->3.5. I miss FreeBSD userland and associated tools. Honestly - how mature is this port? Is it recommended for production use? How feature rich and stable is it compared to the OpenBSD offering - any known bugs? Is this going to be actively maintained for the forseeable future? Thanks, R
