[Netnice-developer] OpenBSD port

[<op...@so...>]

Hi all, 

My name is Nicolas Baldi and I am working on the OpenBSD port for Netnice.
I just want to give you all an update of what I've been doing... 

Up to this day I worked on /src/netnice and /src/netniced. Both of them
compile without a problem. Right now I am working directly on the kernel
patch. It won't be hard to do it, since I already started it. I just need
to be more familiar with the way that FreeBSD handles the drivers. Once
I have this done I will continue with the modification of /src/sh. Which
in OpenBSD is the Korn Shell -ksh- (not Bash), and also the C Shell -csh-.
The lastest thing that I will port will be the /src/inetd daemon. 

Taka will make some big modifications over the FreeBSD kernel for the
next release of Netnice in the next couple of months. But I feel that if
we have a working version of current Netnice, it will make the porting
of the new version easier. 

Once I finish the port for OpenBSD, the NetBSD one won't be much of
a trouble. Since the kernel structure is almost identical between the
two OS's. 

It would be great if someone can start working on the Darwin port.
I don't know if Taka agrees with me, but you can get an ISO from Apple
to run Darwin on a ix86 machine. So you don't need a G4 to start working.
The ISO is free to download at Apple's website. 

Later,
Nico.
