Hello, since the recent hype around ntsync driver for Linux, written no less than 'Linux incorporates Windows features', I decided that FreeBSD should support the trend. Useful technical summary is available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NTSYNC-Contained Apparently, there is some documentation https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/ntsync.html (which mis-spells ioctl names), and the test suite that seems to be more useful. FreeBSD port of the test suite can be found at https://github.com/kostikbel/freebsd-ntsync-test and the FreeBSD driver implementation at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D57038 This is a clean-room implementation, I did not read GPL-ed code. I used the documentation as reference, and ensured that the test suite passes fully. Amusingly, there was one test that contained bug in the check.home | help
