Hi,

The attached message is from current@. On 5-CURRENT, there is no "sem"
kld. The closest kld by name is sysvsem.ko but a grep on the output of
strings for "sem_open" doesn't return anything. Any ideas?

Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to doc@.

Regards,

I get the same problem.  Read the man page for sem(4) which
explains the kernel option or kernel module that needs
to be used for POSIX semaphores to work.

However, I am not sure that this man page is entirely correct,
since if I do:

kldload sem

I get "No such file or directory".
