If you use the ndbm library, there is a small nuance of FreeBSD which
most other systems have changed (?) or never had a problem with.
Basically FreeBSD has <db.h> rather than <dbm.h>. You should be using
ndbm anyway, but this causes problems if you happen to have a "db.h" file.
(For reference: Solaris, Ultrix, Digital Unix, IRIX and Linux do NOT have
this problem).
If you want some reference code for using ndbm, I work on an object
oriented database driver for networking applications which uses it for
the database management aspect, you can get the source at:
