Are there plans for a version that works on FreeBSD?

Once anonymous cvs access is opened up to spread, I'll dive in and see
if I can fix whatever's not working. -sc

To clarify.. It is wackamole that doesn't support FreeBSD. Spread does
just fine.

The code to bring up and down a virtual IP address on an interface and
to arp spoof that address needs to be rewritten for FreeBSD (and Solaris
for that matter).

AND.... Wackamole _in_ in anonymous CVS. ;-)

Vists the website for direction on anon access.

::grin:: Yup, too right. anoncvs works beautifully for wackamole, but
it currently doesn't compile w/o spread running.

Go figure. Theo, how do you intend to handle the OS portability for
this? #ifdef's inline, or an external portability header file that
defines the all of functions used and then have the #defines and
#ifdef's in portability.h?

Again, tons of thanks for making it available to work on. -sc

Actually, I almost have autoconf working in Wackamole. I will show up
in CVS when it works well. I'm sure this is new news to Aashima :-)

The easiest way to put support it is to _port_ the whole ife.c file over
to FreeBSD and let me glue it into my autoconf modifications.

Think it will all fit together nicely.
