Hello all,

apparently my BSD inexperience shows ...

What is the proper BSD way in dealing with named pipes?
(on HP-UX I normally create them with mknod name p, which does
not appear to be supported under FreeBSD.)

I've apropos-ed the manual, but found nothing on pipe nor named
that would lead in useful direction.

Is that a SysV-ism?  Any suggestion for a work-around?

Thanks,
/Alby

P.S.  I'm running 2.0.5-ALPHA system.
