I recently encountered some problems getting zephyr working on FreeBSD/alpha. Due to the size difference between a struct timeval on FreeBSD/alpha (2 longs for a total of 128 bits) and a struct timeval nearly everywhere else in the know universe (2 ints, for a total of 64-bits, even on DEC OSF/1), and the way zephyr uses timevals, it needs a bit of help. The NetBSD people have already fixed this in their zephyr package. Applying ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/net/zephyr/patches/patch-aa yields a working, interoperable zephyr on FreeBSD/alpha. Their patch-ab deals with kerberos authentication (which we don't use & I cannot test), but it at least appears to apply cleanly. Not being a ports person, I'm reluctant to commit the patches myself. I was hoping somebody could eyeball them and commit them if they look OK.
