   Hi everyone,   
      
   I'm happy to say that over the past 24 hours, we were able to get MBSE   
   running under FreeBSD without issues.  We do not currently see any reason   
   one cannot run MBSE as a "daily driver" under FreeBSD.   
      
   Please note that the other BSDs are not tested at this time as there are   
   known issues with OpenBSD and NetBSD.  We are only supporting MBSE under   
   FreeBSD due to limited time and resources.   
      
   I am setting up my own BBS and an additional BBS as a private test bed for   
   MBSE under FreeBSD 13-STABLE.   
      
   Three notes with MBSE and FreeBSD:   
      
   - The sysctl "security.bsd.see_other_uids" tuning knob must be set to 1 (on)   
     in /etc/sysctl.conf as the main 'mbsebbs' process is run under the user   
     who logs in and if that is turned off, mbtask gets confused and panics   
     since it cannot see other PIDs it did not create.   
      
   - The telnet program as provided on FreeBSD 13 uses SRA (secure telnet) and   
     if you telnet in from the command prompt, telnet sends the currently   
     logged in user's info to mblogin and it gets confused.  So if you do use   
     FreeBSD's telnet program, you must add "-K" (uppercase K) in the command   
     line, i.e. "telnet -K 127.0.0.1".  Other operating systems do not have   
     this issue that we are aware of.   
      
   - The calling line in inetd.conf for inbound telnet connections must be   
     configured to disable SRA.  We will make it so the following line will be   
     correct when MBSE is first installed but for now, you will need to modify   
     that line to look like this (this is all one line; remove the \):   
      
     telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root   /usr/libexec/telnetd \   
       telnetd -X SRA -p /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin   
      
   With these changes, MBSE should be working fine under FreeBSD.  We will be   
   doing a lot more testing but for now we feel that MBSE should be stable   
   enough to be used for a BBS.   
      
   I will be adding this information to the documentation this weekend.   
      
   We are working on trying to get DOSemu to compile under FreeBSD but that's a   
   much more complicated issue but we're confident we can get it working.   
      
   We're hoping to release MBSE 1.0.8 very soon.   
      
   As always, thank you for using MBSE.
