PLEASE NOTE: Now that DigitalOcean offers a BSD virtual server, I don't need this help anymore. Thanks to okcomputer for helping me out.

Disclaimer: I hope it's cool posting this request here. It seemed the most appropriate monk spot. Please let me know if there's a better place for this request.

I'm currently developing the module Unix::Mgt. The purpose of this module is to provide Uni*x management tools that directly call the system's tool for those purposes, as opposed to directly editing /etc/passwd or /etc/group.

The problem is that I don't have access to a BSD system, so I can't write the appropriate code for management on BSD.

Would somebody like to help write those sections of the module what would work on BSD? It shouldn't be too difficult, just putting some values into an array. My code already does the work of making the system calls. Please see Help with BSD development for details.

Thanks and happy coding. - Miko
