How reliable is the Posix semaphore support in FreeBSD 7 for
interprocess synchronization?

Is it not on by default because no one uses it, or because the code
isn't trustworthy, or some other reason?

Is this what you would recommend for synchronizing access to a shared
resource between processes on FreeBSD?

Thanks,
