Description

Hi,

when I login and then run the following command:
keybase chat list
I get the following error:

[1] (unverified) <> [???] error unboxing chat message: KBFS client wasn't found

FreeBSD <> 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #0 r295946+21897e6695f(9.10.2-STABLE): Thu Apr 20 17:58:31 UTC 2017
keybase-1.0.21
This is actually a jailed FreeBSD instance but I don't think that matters.

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase chat list on the reported FreeBSD 10.3 jailed environment and inspect how the client locates or starts the KBFS client. No source files or tests are named in the report, so trace the error from the chat command into the KBFS integration. Done means chat listing no longer reports that the KBFS client was not found on the supported environment.
