Thanks for the inquiry.  I am now 8 years into retirement and
have reduced lsof work to the minimum necessary to support a
few remaining dialects, including mainstream Linux.  As a
result I'm not inclined to take on a new port.

Since the lsof sources are open software with just a few
restrictions imposed by the Purdue copyright, it would be
permissible for someone else to do the Hurd port.

Regards,

Vic
