10 OS dependences

    10.1	4.4BSD derived systems

    4.4BSD is the target machine. Nothing annoys you.

    10.2	NetBSD

    NetBSD is the target operating system. Anything are O.K.

    10.3	OpenBSD

    10.4	FreeBSD

    10.5	Debian/linux

    10.6	BSD/OS 3.0, 4.0

    10.7	Before BSD/OS 3.0

    I believe nothing to do.

    10.8	4.3BSD

    4.3BSD is the target machine until from the first to FML 2.0 alpha or
    so. I believe nothing annoys you.

    10.9	SUN OS 4.1.3

    FML must works well, but SUN OS JLE (Japanese Language Extension) has
    a lot of bugs, which paranoids you.

    10.10	HP-UX 9?

    Very strange. I don't know know-hows on HP.  Syscalls around setuid is
    between 4.3 and 4.4 ?  You may or may not require "perl -U"(enable
    insecure action) or that ":include:file" (with ") is required? and so
    on...  That is, there is a lot of riddles ...

    10.11	SGI Indy (IRIX5.3)

    From:    nino@windy.mech.utsunomiya-u.ac.jp

    (See fj.sys.sgi)

    SGI may require kernel reconfig with -D_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED and
    replace sendmail, sendmail.cf with latest ones.

    10.12	UXP/DS V20L10(SVR4.2)

    	FUJITSU GRANPOWER 7000(DS/90)
    	UXP/DS V20L10(SVR4.2)

    require

    	$COMPAT_SOLARIS2 = 1;

    10.13	AIX 4.2

    fml-support: 04555

    sendmail 8.8.5	include style works
    sendmail 8.8.8	include style fails but
    		C Wrapper (fml.c fml-ctl.c) works

    10.14	Socket connection does not work on Solaris 2.4

    Now "makefml" probes your operations system and writes it into
    config.ph as a variable

    	$CPU_TYPE_MANUFACTURER_OS

    Please check it contains "solaris2". If your host is OEM of solaris2,
    it may not have the string.

    Enforce Solaris 2 compatible socket constants to fml.pl, please set

    	$COMPAT_SOLARIS2 = 1;

    10.15	flock(2) cannot work on Solaris 2.3

    Please try

    	$USE_FLOCK = 0;

    10.16	perl 4 cannot work on DEC alpha(OSF1 V3.0) ?

    Please try perl 5.

    10.17	article ID duplication error

    Please see below.

    10.18	perl 5.003 flock on solaris 2.5 2.5.1 ?

    Fixed at somewhere from 2.1 to 2.2. It comes the bug flock(2)
    emulation? Now I believe flock(2) works well also on solaris.
