Thank you, Rich.

I've built `fedora-ds-base` successfully on FC8. Then I move all built files to my FreeBSD machine to test. You can read some details at http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=24826#post24826.

After chroot-ing to Linux inside FreeBSD I run `setup-ds.pl` to create the first instance of FDS. The script worked very well but it couldnot start the service as below.

/==============================================================================

$ uname -s
FreeBSD

$ chroot /home/fc8/ /bin/bash

# # now i'm in Linux mode 

# /opt/fedora-ds/sbin/ns-slapd \
  -d 9 \
  -D /opt/fedora-ds/etc/dirsrv/slapd-fds2 \
  -i /opt/fedora-ds/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-fds2.pid \
  -w /opt/fedora-ds/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-fds2.startpid

....

[20/May/2009:13:35:18 +0700] - Fedora-Directory/1.2.0 B2009.139.99 starting up
[20/May/2009:13:35:18 +0700] - Failed to create semaphore for stats
file (/opt/fedora-ds/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-fds2.stats). Error
38.(Function not implemented)

\==============================================================================

FDS tried to create stat file but it failed to do that. So it stopped working. 

Is there anyone who experiences this problem?
