 Dear Rob,
 
     Dazuko does not build and does not work on FreeBSD v6.
 
     Although 'make' builds client part (libdazuko.a) and C code
 examples (example_c), kernel module hasn't built -- Dazuko currently
 doesn't support FreeBSD v6. Although 'configure' script can easily
 be hacked to use dazuko_freebsd5.c on FreeBSD v6, and dazuko_freebsd5.c,
 in turn, can easily be hacked to compile (as you can see, new device
 infrastructure eliminates 'd_maj' field from 'cdevsw' kernel structure),
 Dazuko is VERY unstable on FreeBSD v6.
 
     Yes, kernel module loads perfectly. Yes, C example from Dazuko
 source archive works. :) I have tested it two days ago. ;)
 
     But when you try to unload module, kernel will panic. And any
 kind of real use (tested by ClamAV/Clamuko and H+BEDV AntiVir itself)
 will hang your system completely. It seems to me that some additional
 locking should be added to Dazuko kernel code, but due to lack of my
 personal time I can't promise that I will finish this task soon.
 
     I ask you to place this port on IGNORE on FreeBSD v6.x. Thanks
 for your attention!
