SysV- (Unixware-) Emulation of FBSD-V :-)

Hi all,

I want to use FreeBSD-5.1 as a replacement for our Linux-Server... The 
only problem is backup.

We're using HP OmniBack/DataProtector, which has no native FreeBSD 
client but Linux, Unixware and SCO OpenServer clients. I got the 
linux-client (sort of) working, but the chrooted environment is less 
than ideal for a backup client.

What is the current status of SysV-Emulation on 5.1 or -current?
I heard it's working without a chrooted environment, right?
Chances to get a daemon-process, which accesses network and filesystem, 
running?
Do I need any additional libraries?

Thanks so far - Matthias
