FreeBSD users will need to change the Perl shebangs at the top of the executables from #!/usr/bin/perl
Syncoid assumes a bourne style shell on remote hosts. Using (t)csh (the default for root under FreeBSD)
will cause syncoid to fail cryptically due to 2>&1 output redirects.
To use syncoid successfully with FreeBSD targets, you must use the chsh command to change the root shell:
root@bsd:~# chsh -s /bin/sh
FreeBSD users will also need to change the Perl shebangs at the top of the executables from #!/usr/bin/perl
to #!/usr/local/bin/perl in most cases.
Sorry folks, but if I set this with #!/usr/bin/env perl as suggested, then nothing works properly

root@bsd:~# ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
After putting this symlink in place, ANY perl script shebanged for Linux will work on your system too.
Syncoid assumes a bourne style shell on remote hosts. Using (t)csh (the default for root under FreeBSD)
has some known issues:
* If mbuffer is present, syncoid will fail with an "Ambiguous output redirect." error. So if you:
root@bsd:~# ln -s /usr/local/bin/mbuffer /usr/bin/mbuffer
make sure the remote user is using an sh compatible shell.
To change to a compatible shell, use the chsh command:
root@bsd:~# chsh -s /bin/sh
