Hi,

I usually use /etc/sysctl.conf to modify two parameters

compat.linux.osname=FreeBSD
compat.linux.osrelease=4.4-Stable

The reason behind this is to be accounted for FreeBSD instead of Linux
... some day will have native freebsd code...

I get this result now:
%sysctl -a | grep os
...

pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osname'
<118>unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease'
<118> hostname
<118>	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
user.posix2_version: 199212
user.posix2_c_bind: 0
user.posix2_c_dev: 0
user.posix2_char_term: 0
user.posix2_fort_dev: 0
user.posix2_fort_run: 0
user.posix2_localedef: 0
user.posix2_sw_dev: 0
user.posix2_upe: 0
jail.set_hostname_allowed: 1
compat.linux.osname: Linux
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2
compat.linux.oss_version: 198144

No changes !!

Thanks again.
