While the FreeBSD guys claim that their | mmap() is working, it comes over every half year that there are still | bugs in it. So this could be the same for shared memory. I tried INN on FreeBSD with mmap. It didn't work - what happened was that every now and then zeros were added to the end of the active file up to the nearest 8 kByte boundary. The normal contents, before the zeros, were okay. I recompiled without mmap, and now everything works just peachy. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
