Or is this just some gnome people having a power-trip? The last fam release is more than two years old, and the port is still=20 at 2.6.9 (which is rapdily getting three years old!). Besides, fam is=20 buggy w.r.t to NFS mounts. I don't know about gamin, but it seems awfully linux-centric and=20 therefore rather unstable on FreeBSD. We would need to sneak in a *BSD=20 developer with kqueue-fu into the gamin team ... Ulrich Spoerlein --=20 PGP Key ID: 20FEE9DD Encrypted mail welcome!
