I noticed that a similar question was asked recently, but I never saw a response. I tried installing the CyberCash 2.1 admin and credit servers on my FreeBSD 2.2-961006-SNAP machine and some of the CyberCash binaries I tried running die on a SIGSYS signal (bad system call). I can start and stop the admin server, but when starting the credit server, I get "***!!! Signal SIGSYS caught, Quitting !!!***" and when stopping the credit server I get "Bad system call - core dumped". I'm not sure if this helps, but the file(1) output for the affected binaries is: "BSD/386 demand paged (first page unmapped) pure ex" The installation notes say that one needs BSDI version 2.0.1 or 2.1 to run the CyberCash CashRegister 2.1. So my question is: Is FreeBSD 2.2 or 3.0-current fully binary compatible with BSDI 2.0.1 and/or 2.1? I'm running the October 6th snapshot (it's the one that came out a few days before the "fixed" October 10th snapshot). I've upgraded a few things like rtld, sendmail, etc. Should I upgrade (the kernel) to a more recent 3.0-current or 2.2-GAMMA? Or has nothing changed with regard to BSDI compatibility since October? Thanks, Pius P.S. My machine's got a Pentium 133, 32MB RAM, 128MB swap. Is more information needed?
