Hi, I've been trying to use net/etunnel as an SMTP proxy on FreeBSD 6, but I ran into a problem where etunnel would continuously fork new zombie processes which would eventually overload the server, preventing any new processes from being launched. The process would fork when it received the SIGIO signal and would then block on accept() even if the socket was already connected. Fortunately, I was able to open up the code and modify it to fix this bug. So, I'd like to know how I can share this patch with other users. It looks like this port is not maintained, so I'm not sure who to talk to. I might be willing to handle other bug fixes now that I am familiar with the code, but for the time being I just need to know how I can update the port or the original source to fix this bug for anyone else who might be unfortunate enough to try this program and have it take down their server. Please advise. Henry
