Regarding FMON on FreeBSD: Back in June I was investigating porting FAM to
FreeBSD using the FMON mechanisims. After chasing several dead end leads, I
contacted someone who had worked on the original FMON functionality for
FreeBSD. He indicated that the work was done on a very old version of the
kernel (which has been modified heavily since) and was never integrated into
the core source. He also was unable to find a copy of the source for FMON and
expressed concern over the patent for the same technology held by SGI.
Unfortunately, at this point school pressures made it impossible for me to
continue looking into this. If anyone is interested in following up on the
FMON functionality, I believe I still have that information hanging around
somewhere.
