Those comments about the pthread library don't seem applicable to
FreeBSD 6.0 and up. Also, you can dynamically select the threading
library you want by setting up libmap.conf (see man libmap.conf).
For example, on systems which I run mysql, I map libpthread to libthr
which gives 1:1 kernel thread to process thread allowing for the best
CPU resource usage of that app. These simliar complaints were made
about the pthread library from the mysql users with older FreeBSD's,
which is what leads me to believe that commentary is outdated.
I'm still running nagios 1.2 because I don't have the time to re-
configure the entire infrastructure in nagios 2.0.... so I can't say
for sure.
If you're looking to run SA on FreeBSD, you're not going to have any
issues whatsoever. Using the ports to install it (and whatever
integration you want, such as amavisd-new) works very well and makes
updating very easy.
