A HUGE thank you to @qiu3344 from the FreeBSD community for responding to the plea for a Go developer to help resolve the FreeBSD trust store issue within SmallStep. @qiu3344 stepped up to the plate and unselfishly contributed their expertise and time to bring closure to this issue, Around 100 lines of Go code were added in a pull request. The fix should find its way in a future release of SmallStep and Caddy. Anybody who uses these products on FreeBSD, and its derivatives such as TrueNAS, for private PKI certificate lifecycle management, owes @qiu3344 a debt of gratitude for their contribution in making these products fully functional on more recent FreeBSD versions.
