Hello Dan,

This is to warn you that Bacula will probably not be able to be compiled and 
run with encryption on Release 7 of FreeBSD.  This is because the version of 
pthreads in that release has pthread_t defined as a structure, which is 
incompatible with OpenSSL.  The OpenSSL API mandates doing comparison of 
thread ids without the use of pthread_equal().  In otherwords, Bacula must be 
able to return a thread id to OpenSSL when requested.  It currently does so 
with:

   return ((unsigned long)pthread_self());

which is far from being elegant, but does currently work on all platforms 
including FreeBSD < 7 (with the possible exception of Win32).

This will not work with the new FreeBSD implementation of pthreads. Perhaps 
the FreeBSD pthreads developers have a FreeBSD specific solution for this 
problem. If so, could you please let me know.  If not, Bacula encryption will 
unfortunately not be available on the new version of FreeBSD.

Note, as far as I know this means that any program that uses pthreads and 
OpenSSL will have the same problem.

Best regards,

Kern
