can't get the Linux aaccli to work under 4.8-RELEASE, 4.9-RC1, 5.1-RELEASE

This might indicate that your linux_base is not completely
installed. There seems to be a bug (at least, there is on my
computers), where /usr/ports/linux_base coredumps during the
install. I also found the package leaves the same core file, but
doesn't report an error. The only work around for this that I found is
to do the install from single user mode.

This means you need to include options LINUX_COMPAT in your kernal
configuration file. (Thanks to Scott Long who helped me with this a
while back.)
