That is exactly what i was afraid of had trouble making work with zoneminder live cd and ubuntu. Seen a post about the FreeBSD (my favorite OS) port and thought i would give it a go. >From the sounds of it not worth do mind me asking how you went about getting it to work? ie different OS/Distro or did you just give up? PS i have contacted the author of the port we will see what he has to say about things too.
