made major contributions to FreeBSD, the best known of which
|
|
is the import of the &man.dtrace.1 code. John's unique sense
|
|
of humor and plain-spokenness either ruffled feathers or
|
|
made him quick friends. At the end of his life, he had

moved to a rural area and was attempting to live with

as minimal impact to the planet as possible, while at
|
|
the same time still working in the high-tech area.</para>

which aimed to provide IPv6 and IPsec technology in freely

into FreeBSD. Without his efforts, the state of IPv6 on the

Internet would be much different.</para>

despite serious physical disabilities. He was responsible

for a complete rewrite of our sound system during the

no idea of his limited mobility, due to his cheerful

spirit and willingness to help others.</para>
